No, I don't mean iterate with predicate. I mean /dev/null thing.
My point is that `range.each!predicate` is much better replaced
with `range.tap!predicate.consume`. It keeps general rule of
range stuff being lazy and only single exception to bail out of
it has very readable clear name.
One can argue that "consume" is same as proposed "each" with
no-op predicate but I think it is very important for
readability to keep exceptional behavior (eager consumption)
separated from utility behavior (tapping with a predicate).
I also proposed this in the thread I linked, but it was also
rejected. I remember Andrei saying that "consume" should really
just be reduce called with no predicate, but I think that
wouldn't work for some reason...
