inherits Iterate · defined at core/02-iterate.qn:535

An iterable made from a yielding block: each ^> in the block becomes an element.

each: runs the block in a fiber and forwards every ^> to the consumer. Consumed lazily through an Iterator (e.g. .take:), so even infinite generators are usable.

var naturals = Generator.from:{ var i = 0; { true }.whileDo:{ ^>i; i = i + 1 } };
(naturals.lazyCollect:{ |x| x * x }).take:4    "* -> #(0 1 4 9)
