Introduction and motivation
---------------------------

[](#introduction-and-motivation)

The main purpose of this library is to defer execution of different operations on collection items until your application really needs it.

Moreover, performing heavy operations on the whole collection at once is usually very inefficient and takes too much memory. So, for example, let's take a look at the code
