[Prototype] Protocol-powered generic trimming, searching, splitting,

Hi all, I’d like to share a prototype of protocol-powered generic Collection APIs for trimming, searching, splitting, replacing, etc. You can browse the code here and contributed as a PR. Instructions and an overview is given in the README, presented below. This is a very early prototype of what will likely be broken out into multiple pitches. Collection Consumers and Searchers Prototype Early prototype of generalized collection consumers and searchers, APIs powered by them, and a smattering …
