I have a Starlark lists module with several functions that make working with list values a little eaiser. I am willing to contribute it to bazel-skylib as the functionality seems generally useful.
Current functions:
compact: Given a list, return a new list having removed the items that equal None.
contains: It has two modes.
Given a list and a bool function (i.e., accepts a single parameter and returns a bool), it will return True if any of the items in the list satisfy the function.
Given a list and any other type, it will return True if any of the items equal the input.
find: Given a list and a bool function, it will return the item that satisfies the function.
flatten: Given a list that may contain items that are list values, it returns a list with all of the items flattened (i.e., no items in the result are an item of type list).
If the code owners are agreeable, I am willing to put up one or more PRs.
