I find myself writing .iter().map(|x| ...).collect() really often in Rust. I'm wondering if I should write a helper method on Vec, but it seems less idiomatic. Iterators compose, but they're less versatile (no indexing) and awkward to return from functions.

Ooh, today I learnt that terminals support italics! Difftastic now uses italics for comments. Bold/italics are great because they're still visible even when you're showing text in green or red. They compose nicely :)

Env = Map<String, String> Args = [String] UnixCommand = (Env, Args, ByteStream) -> (Integer, ByteStream, ByteStream) Unix command compose pretty darn well, but it's a really weird API. Many of these inputs and outputs are less visible to newcomers too.
