In imperative programming you can stop iteration by using break or return keywords, but in Nevalang's dataflow it's not possible - for, map, filter, etc will process the whole stream even if its infinite. How do we solve this problem?
Implement #666 and use it for all iterators? Wouldn't that be hard to use?
Make existing iterators send -> :err to signal stop? Is it popular usecase enough to make using more complicated (in theory you could just not write to :err outport)
Introduce other components for this usecase (e.g. While)?
