Wish: mapping methods that create a normal Iterator
Closed this issue · 4 comments
I find it strange that map
and filter_map
both create a StreamingIterator
rather than an Iterator
, because their mapped items are not tied to the lifetime of the source. You have to use cloned
or owned
after mapping to get an iterator by value.
Map
and FilterMap
could be plain Iterator
s that directly return the mapped value. One could still use convert
to get back to streaming if really wanted. Also cloned
and owned
could essentially be just map(Clone::clone)
and map(ToOwned::to_owned)
. Of course, this would be a breaking change.
Alternatively, there could be new methods like map_deref
, just like map
but producing an Iterator
.
@sfackler Could you make a new release? There's been quite a bit since 0.1.4, including map_deref
and filter_map_deref
to resolve this issue.
@sfackler or perhaps add cuviper as co-owner/maintainer. He seems to be invested and active on this project.
I now have access to commit and publish -- 0.1.5 is out!
