    I can see this being useful for parsing. You often want to report all of the parsing errors to the user in one go, so collecting them into a list or iterator is useful.

    But yeah, still relatively obscure.

    And I’m guessing, “evert” is simply the respective English word: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/evert
    As a non-native speaker, I didn’t know that word either…
