Check if java stream has been consumed

Taking into consideration that spliterator (for example) is a terminal operation, you can simply create a method like:

private static <T> Optional<Stream<T>> isConsumed(Stream<T> stream) {

    Spliterator<T> spliterator;
    try {
        spliterator = stream.spliterator();
    } catch (IllegalStateException ise) {
        return Optional.empty();
    }

    return Optional.of(StreamSupport.stream(
        () -> spliterator,
        spliterator.characteristics(),
        stream.isParallel()));
}

I don't know of a better way to do it... And usage would be:

Stream<Integer> ints = Stream.of(1, 2, 3, 4)
                                 .filter(x -> x < 3);

YourClass.isConsumed(ints)
         .ifPresent(x -> x.forEachOrdered(System.out::println));

Since I don't think there is a practical reason to return an already consumed Stream, I am returning Optional.empty() instead.
