There's still the question of what it would do without a predicate. Making the predicate mandatory in the initial proposal would help avoid the confusion of whether `first() should behave like array_filter() and any() and filter for the first truthy value. Calling it [iterable_]search_callback() or first_matching() or find() might help distinguish this from the reset()/end()/next()/prev() family of functions - not happy with any of my naming ideas Thanks, - Tyson
