Rest... is genius, I don't know why it never struck me before.

My current solution doesn't support having chunks of varying 
sizes (ideally it would take 2 *or* 3), but the current use case 
is okay with just pairs for now. I imagine I could keep the same 
signature and just access a third argument with rest[0] and 
recursing on rest[1..$].

Many thanks!
