This is all going to keep this list active for ever:-)

It remains to be seen I think how far just having a naive mental model
of the kind of things that ought to work in a streaming context will
lead to expressions that are in fact defined to be streaming in the
spec (or are streaming in the implementations). It's an impressive
bit of analysis/specification in any case, I love the terminology:-)


I don't David! I do hope it is glossed well - 
absorbtion operation
vb striding!

I dread to think what else is coming from 3.0!
