The "assignment from a lazy list" section of RFC 123 suggests a system
for requesting the first however many items out of a map or grep by
making it lazy and then assigning it to an array of that size.
"last" is more flexible, if you are looking for a condition more
complex than the first one,
Just to note that RFC 76 (Builtin: reduce) also proposes this
mechanism as a means of short-circuiting C.
