The author mentions iterator helpers [1], which could make stuff easier.

However, there is also a different proposal that touches different similar issue which might fix this too: The bind operator proposal [2].

Like the name implies, it allows to set the `this` for a function call. This opens the possibility to implement the common map/filter/reduce functions in a lazy manner _for arrays_. Taken from the samples, this could evaluate lazily on an array returned by `getPlayers()`.

    import { map, takeWhile, forEach } from "iterlib";

    getPlayers()
        ::map(x => x.character())
        ::takeWhile(x => x.strength > 100)
        ::forEach(x => console.log(x));

Of course, this could also be used for iterators. However, the binding operator is not very active any more.
