I can’t find anything in the stdlib to do something like that:

list.forEach {
    with(it) {
        // I want each value of the list as a receiver, not as a parameter.
    }
}

Am I missing an existing method or should I write my own receiveEach extension method?

As in this:

fun <T> List<T>.receiveEach(f: T.() -> Unit) = forEach { it.f() }

I can't see anything like it in the stdlib.

yep, that’s what I meant 🙂

I can’t say I’ve ever needed something like that

[Johann Pardanaud]

Yeah, it’s really an edge-case, I’m not surprised ^^

[Johann Pardanaud]

but I thought I might ask

[Johann Pardanaud]

thank you anyway!
