+      This library provides a Java-like `Stream` class that provides a fluent interface of lazily-computed and chainable iterator operations such as `map`, `filter`, and `reduce`. For example:
+
+      ```lua
+      local fn = require "stream"
+      fn.stream{2, 3, 4, 7}
+          :filter(function(x) return x % 2 == 0 end)
+          :map(function(x) return x ^ 2 end)
+          :collect()  -- {4, 16}
