Ahhh, interesting. Only pipes where there isn’t a 2 or more pipes. Neat idea 🙂 In that case your traverse + prev/next strategy looks like the best way to go about this IMO. It’s a benefit of Zipper that you actually _don’t_ need an accumulator to do this kind of thing. It would only add complexity IMO.
