It's not the best idea to always unconditionally use .array because you might want to preserve the laziness of a Result type. By using .array you're saying you want all of the results into memory right now! Depending on what you're doing, you might not want that.

I actually didn't know this! Very cool. I guess it's similar to calling .ToList() on IEnumerable<T> in C#.

Most range function return a "Voldemort" that preserve lazyness if you put it in an `auto` local. Or you can use .array to get a slice out of it.
