After a quick look at the code, it looks like simply introducing
another filtermap_T, FILTERMAP_FOREACH, and there's not much coding
needed (I only looked at list). Probably more work doing tests/doc.
Any objections or other considerations?
So, this would iterate over the items in a List or Dictionary and invoke
a function for each one. I assume the List or Dictionary is not
modified, otherwise you would use map().
Yes, yes. Not modified as though `lockvar 1`, a structured value, like
an inner list in a list of lists, could be modified.
Thus it's a short version of a
for loop. This seems useful.
I would suggest first writing the help and think of any error conditions
that need to be handled.
The first PR will be doc only.
Perhaps the collection should be locked
(frozen) to avoid trouble?
To protect against the script changing the list/dict top level structure
during iteration? Aren't map/filter/mapnew susceptible to the script
manipulating the source collection during iteration?
But it's always nice to get an exception if the script misbehaves. In
this case, there can be no structure modification, unlike map/filter. I
suppose with map/filter the list could be locked during the operation
except when the return from the function indicates a change needs to be
made (I've never looked at the lock code; have no idea of the overhead
of an internal `lockvar 1`)
