/**
 * An enum describing the known shape specializations for stream abstractions.
 * Each will correspond to a specific subinterface of {@link BaseStream}
 * (e.g., {@code REFERENCE} corresponds to {@code Stream}, {@code INT_VALUE}
 * corresponds to {@code IntStream}).  Each may also correspond to
 * specializations of value-handling abstractions such as {@code Spliterator},
 * {@code Consumer}, etc.
 *
 * @apiNote
 * This enum is used by implementations to determine compatibility between
 * streams and operations (i.e., if the output shape of a stream is compatible
 * with the input shape of the next operation).
 *
 * <p>Some APIs require you to specify both a generic type and a stream shape
 * for input or output elements, such as {@link TerminalOp} which has both
 * generic type parameters for its input types, and a getter for the
 * input shape.  When representing primitive streams in this way, the
 * generic type parameter should correspond to the wrapper type for that
 * primitive type.
