My opinion: it contains things that overlap with RangeEx or lambdas, and 
combining the right tools is simple enough that it outweighs the bloat 
of defining many new names and algorithms.

iota, for example, is nothing more than transform with a simplistic 
phoenix expression (ref(v)++).

transform_if should either be provided by RangeEx directly or can simply 
be transform on a filtered range.
