I went through some of our code and one thing I'd love to see is a way to
replace Enum.reduce_while with the for comprehension. So the code like this:

Enum.reduce_while(foos, {:ok, []}, fn foo, {:ok, bars} ->
  case barify(foo) do
    {:ok, bar} -> {:cont, {:ok, [bar | bars]}}
    {:error, _reason} = error -> {:halt, error}
  end
end)

Would the following even work?

for reduce(result = {:ok, []}), foo <- foos, {:ok, _} <- result do
  case barify(foo) do
    {:ok, bar} -> {{:ok, [bar | bars]}}
    {:error, _reason} = error -> {error}
  end
end

Even if it did, it's not doing a great job of communicating the intent and
still potentially requires a Enum.reverse call. The intent here is "early
exit with some value upon some condition or pattern mismatch".


Best,
Stefan
