Is Java 8 Stream a safe return type?

2015-04-15T05:29:14

Are Java 8 Streams safe return types for public methods, in that it would be impossible to mutate the underlying object given a stream from it?

For example, if I have a List and return list.stream(); could the return value in any way be used to mutate the original list?

Judging from the API, I don't think it's possible but would like to confirm.
