You're right that it's easy to implement as an abstraction but I was rather thinking about execution speed. I guess a fictional object like [array drip] that would just iterate through the array using a C loop would be the fastest possible method. I don't see how you could even get close to that with abstractions, especially when using only vanilla objects.
