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.
Selective
Although, then stride fits better into Selective than into
Iterative. On the other hand, iterative seems not that fitting to
me. lockstep might also be Compositional.
