Hi.

I hope you might be aware of Gatherers feature that was proposed. Reference 1 Reference 2 .

Requesting support for similar functionality in this library.

Thanks.

Hello!

It doesn't look like a good idea to mimic the API creating essentially a parallel class hierarchy. The concept of my library is to add reasonable operations inside the library itself, rather than providing a Gatherer-like mechanism to be able to extend it. I focus on practical needs, so if you miss a particular operation, feel free to report. Also note that using headTail operation, you can implement quite much of custom intermediate operation functionality without Gatherers.
