In fairness I am sick and if I were well I may have been able to keep this straight in my head, but calling the variable "prev" is actively misleading. I was mislead, and (I think) Chris who just suggested this was similar to the SQL "lag" function may have been mislead as well. (Or perhaps he was just mislead by me, in which case, sorry Chris!)
All of the above are possible. I'm skimming the thread, not reading it in full, and I'm a bit lost as to the point of the proposal, so it's entirely possible that lag() is unrelated. But if it is indeed just reduce(), then it's even simpler. ChrisA
