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(",") { ... }
general impose scalar impose list ------- -------- -------------- ------------ D $foo.eat $foo.bite $foo.gobble N $foo.look $foo.peek $foo.peruse
hmm, I don't like eat in this case
D $foo.take $foo.grab $foo.horde

That assumes folks think of grab as being singular and take as being open ended. That, and I don't want take to colide with gather{take}. Oh well.
