I think I understand the main real impact of an eager iterable cache vs a lazy iterable cache from a functional point of view: - exceptions are thrown during construction vs during the first iteration - predictable performance also on the first iteration. How did you gather the information that eager implementation is more valuable than lazy one? I'm mostly curious also how to assess this as technically to me it also looks the other way around. Maybe mention that in the RFC. I was even thinking that CachedIterable should be lazy and an EagerCachedIterable would be built upon that with more methods. Or have it in the same class with a constructor parameter. Also, being able to have a perfect userland implementation, not very complex, even considering the lower performance, is not that good for positive voting from what I remember from history...
