It sounds interesting. I'd like to know a real example of how you might
use this. What project do you have that this would come in handy for?

I can think of many situations where I've wanted to iterate through an
array only including specific elements.

Right now I'm working on a situation where I need to process an array that
has blank elements that I don't need to process.

Yes, I can test the element before processing it but, IMO, it would be
better to be able to get a subset of the array with the blank elements
excluded.
