I’d just solve this by passing in a Class<S extends Iterable<R>> arg and making the returned list be an instance of this class, instead of forcing the input collection type to be the same as the output collection type.

Then I can't chain method calls.

    foo.doSomething()      // returns Iterable.
       .doSomethingElse(); // Iterable doesn't implement doSomethingElse();
