Yeah. Just means that stdlib will break existing code, slowing uptake.

I suppose. Given that those functions are likely to be used in groups, it 
would be nice to have something really short, but I suppose fn is too likely

It would anyway. Map over vectors needs to miss out the n if present. Also, 
next() doesn't honour numerical order. And why do you say next is linear?
