I'm not particular to any of the verbs used yet, but maybe that's
because I don't think of the <> as a general iterator, but more of a
gobbler-type creature (and formerly a globber, too). Could we try:
for $foo.fetch { ... } #or
for $foo.grab { ... } #or
for $foo.eat { ... }
And to replace $/ we could have something like:
for $foo.fetch :upto(",") { ... } #or
for $foo.fetch :until(",") { ... }
