yes its efficient, simply collecting the results of each iteration while the function is applied to the "last value".

N times on y (and see the individual results), I know I can do F^: (i.N) y But is this efficient or not? I.e., does the F^:3 uses the result of previously calculated F^:2 ? Or are the calculations completely independent (as I guess)? What's the idiomatic way to do this right?
