Because Sequence operations are based on the iterator, and the iterator is not guaranteed to be either non-destructive/resetting or finite, a find method could lead to subtle bugs. I would prefer either another name such as skipUntil, or that find exist on Collection which does have the guarantee of being non-destructive and resettable on iteration. > > * If you have you used other languages or libraries with a similar feature, > how do you feel that this proposal compares to those? skipUntil is the closest I see in reactive programming sources, which process events as a stream rather than as a resettable cursor into a data structure. > * How much effort did you put into your review? A glance, a quick reading, or > an in-depth study? A quick reading.
