I like "make string iteration explicit" but I wonder about other constructs. E.g. What about "sort an array of strings"? How would you tell a generic sort function whether you want it to interpret strings by code unit vs code point vs grapheme?

The comparison predicate does that...

sort!( (string a, string b) {
  /* you interpret a and b here and return the comparison */
})(["hi", "there"]);
