2015-02-17Reimplemented `TakeWhile` and `DropWhile` in terms of `ListIndex`Adrian Kummerlaender
* new higher order list operation `ListIndex` returns the index of the first list element satisfying a given predicate function ** this enables finding the split index required for both `TakeWhile` and `DropWhile` ** actual list manipulation is then performed using lower order `Take` or `Drop` ** analogously to `list-index` in SRFI-1 ** added appropriate test case * added higher order predicate utility function `utility::predicate_assurance` ** as its name implies this function enables assuring that a value satisfies a given predicate *** if this is not the case a surrogate value is returned instead ** this is used to return a appropriate size value if the `ListIndex` call fails because no element satisfies its predicate ** `detail::predicate_negator` was moved from `Remove`'s implementation details into the newly introduced `utility` namespace *** as it is required by both `TakeWhile` and `DropWhile` in addition to `Remove` * continuation of 8e49cc6
