For ranges I could use `takeExactly` and store the range 
somewhere to have the frame syncing enforcment; that sort of 
thing comes from just duck typing templates so you can build up 
your concept.
By having your primitive be [] rather then a list of functions to 
match, airnt you reducing the expressiveness if actaully adopted 
with a liberty of algorthims?
