One could, but I find it hard to think of use cases where you need a
concise operator language for dealing with general iterables.  The
only case I can think of is array algebra, which could deal with
general iterables but in practice limits itself to fixed-dimension
arrays.  Even that has been perennially controversial despite the
wealth of applications (and the passion of its advocates :-).
