I'm looking for ideas on how to label the ranges returned from take and
drop. Some examples of what I think are appropriate categories for other
types of ranges:
Generative - iota, recurrence, sequence
Compositional - chain, roundRobin, transposed
Iterative - retro, stride, lockstep
XXX - take, drop
What to put into the XXX? I first thought of "Greedy", but that has an
association with "greedy algorithms" that I don't really like. That led
to "Selfish", but it's admittedly not that appropriate. Beyond that, I'm
stuck. Any and all ideas appreciated.
Specifying?
