Hi all, just created the issue, for the 2.1 : https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-799
Bill (and others), if you have some comment/idea/code please post/attach there. Thank you, Sandro 2011/10/11 Bill van Melle <[email protected]>: > I've used these kinds of operations in C# for a long time, and they're > certainly useful. C# benefits from using Scala's compact syntax (not to > mention real closures), but I think even in the more verbose Java syntax > your proposals could make a programmer's intentions clearer than the > traditional loop style.
