Is there some standard functional way of grouping consecutive elements that are similar somehow

listOf("str", "str", 2, "str")

into sublists based on ie.

.class

so the example would become

listOf(listOf("str", "str"), listOf(2), listOf("str"))

spand:

list.groupBy { it.javaClass }.values.toList()

They would have to be consequtive

I think you need a fold

Thanks @kirillrakhman. That turned out quite alright
