An iterable is a sequence of values.
📦 Node.js, 🌐 Web, 📜 Files, 📰 Docs, 📘 Wiki.

This is a collection of functions for operating upon iterables. Assumption here is that an iterable can only be iterated over once. Methods which require multiple iterations preserve old values in a backup array using toMany. Many methods accept both compare and map functions, and in some cases using only a map function enables faster comparision (like unique). I borrowed a lot of ideas from Haskell, Elm, Python, Basic, Lodash, and other NPM packages. These are mentioned in references of each method.

This package is available in Node.js and Web formats. To use it on the web, simply use the extra_iterable global variable after loading with a <script> tag from the jsDelivr CDN.

Stability: Experimental.

```javascript const xiterable = require('extra-iterable'); // import * as xiterable from "extra-iterable"; // import * as xiterable from "https://unpkg.com/extra-iterable/index.mjs"; (deno)

var x = [2, 4, 6, 8]; xiterable.get(x, 1); // → 4

var x = [1, 2, 3, 4]; [...xiterable.swap(x, 0, 1)]; // → [ 2, 1, 3, 4 ]

var x = [1, 2, 3]; [...xiterable.cycle(x, 0, 4)]; // → [1, 2, 3, 1]

var x = [1, 2, 3, 4]; xiterable.reduce(x, (acc, v) => acc+v); // → 10 ```
