Yeah; this is what the new iterator methods were intended to solve

Basically?

  // This type of usage creates intermediates
  array.map().filter()
  // But these would not?
  array.values().map().filter().toArray()
  array.values().reduce()

unfortunately iterators have their own set of overheads and it's not clear that these new methods are any faster for most use cases.
