Review Comment:
   ...because one can declare `stop` as a `const` for the cost of one extra 
line? haha. 
   
   It actually spawned from my trying to satisfy MinGW thnking I was illegally 
casting a different ListType than `FixedSizeList` in the second arm.. However, 
in retrospect I think that was because I was using the ternary operator 
`condition ? expr : expr` which MinGW apparently would type check both 
expressions.
   
   Anyway, I can remove the lambda if that's preferred.
