+==== Required functionality ====
+Extracting the required functionality to leads to the following required additions:
+  * [[rfc:functional-elements:call-iterator|class CallIterator]]: a simple iterator which walks over a traversable list (including arrays) and calls a specified method. The CallIterator might optionally gather the results
+  * [[rfc::functional-elements:is-traversable|function is_traversable()]]: Returns true if a list is traversable (Iterator/IteratorAggregate/array)
+  * [[rfc:functional-elements:iterate|function iterate()]]: Walks over a traversable list and does nothing
+  * function iterator_true(): Walks over a traversable list and assumes every element to be bool(true)
+  * function iterator_false(): Walks over a traversable list and assumes every element to be bool(false)
+==== Modified use cases ====
+=== UC-1: Iterating over an aggregation of objects ===
 <code php>
-$result = spl_iterator_element_call($list, array('testMethod', 'otherTestMethod'), array('test', 'other'));
+iterate(new CallIterator($list, 'method'));

-Iterating over a list of objects, call method 'testMethod' (with param "test1" and "test2") and "otherTestMethod" (with param "other1" and "other2") and get the list of results:
