I don't want to overstate the case, but I do think a function signature that offers a "first_value" option is an invitation to treat the first value as being distinct from the rest of the data stream.
I conjecture that the initial value is *always* special, and the only cases where it seems not to be are where you're relying on some implicit initial value such as zero. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
