Description
I've been happy to seperate the semantics of greedy-vs-lazy operations into seperate functions, like map vs mapview and group vs groupview. However, the view suffix is a little tiresome.
I'm wondering if we should follow the example set by Base.Broadcast which uses broadcast(...) = materialize(broadcasted(...)), where broadcasted is more-or-less a lazy version of broadcast and materialize is something that behaves a bit like copy when necessary.
That would be something like:
mapview->mapped.groupview->grouped.- Lazy join functions ending in
joinedinstead ofjoin. - A new
filteredfor lazyfilter. productis a noun, not a verb, and seems fine being lazy.flattenvsflattened?- We've been discussing
splitdimsatBaseandslice/slicesseems like a possible naming.slicedcould be a lazy version? - etc...
Does anyone have any thoughts or opinions?

Research direction
Review the existing map/mapview, group/groupview, lazy join, filter, flatten, splitdims, slice, and product APIs named in the issue. First determine whether the project has settled on a naming convention; done would require an agreed naming plan for the affected lazy operations, rather than a single isolated edit.
