Any view can be turned into an algorithm by putting it in for_each. An
implementation can then in theory detect that it's a for_each over a
particular view and optimize it.

I have a paper in my head to require that by turning for_each into a
customization point but no time to write it...

It would seem to be the more general solution because that way you can turn
views into algorithms. The flip side isn't true, so it would eventually
require both view and algorithm. It's therefore the superior approach.
