trait IterableViewLike[+A, +Coll, +This <: IterableView[A, Coll] with IterableViewLike[A, Coll, This]] extends Iterable[A] with IterableLike[A, This] with TraversableView[A, Coll] with TraversableViewLike[A, Coll, This]A template trait for non-strict views of iterable collections.
A view is a lazy version of some collection. Collection transformers such as
 map or filter or ++ do not traverse any elements when applied on a view.
Instead they create a new view which simply records that fact that the operation
needs to be applied. The collection elements are accessed, and the view
operations are applied, when a non-view result is needed, or when the force
method is called on a view. All views for iterable collections are defined by
re-interpreting the iterator method.

def par: ParIterable[A]
Returns a parallel implementation of this collection.
For most collection types, this method creates a new parallel collection by
copying all the elements. For these collection, par takes linear time. Mutable
collections in this category do not produce a mutable parallel collection that
has the same underlying dataset, so changes in one collection will not be
reflected in the other one.
Specific collections (e.g. ParArray or mutable.ParHashMap ) override this
default behaviour by creating a parallel collection which shares the same
underlying dataset. For these collections, par takes constant or sublinear
time.
All parallel collections return a reference to themselves.

def aggregate[B](z: ⇒ B)(seqop: (B, A) ⇒ B, combop: (B, B) ⇒ B): B
Aggregates the results of applying an operator to subsequent elements.
This is a more general form of fold and reduce . It is similar to
 foldLeft in that it doesn’t require the result to be a supertype of the
element type. In addition, it allows parallel collections to be processed in
chunks, and then combines the intermediate results.
aggregate splits the traversable or iterator into partitions and processes
each partition by sequentially applying seqop , starting with z (like
 foldLeft ). Those intermediate results are then combined by using combop
(like fold ). The implementation of this operation may operate on an arbitrary
number of collection partitions (even 1), so combop may be invoked an
arbitrary number of times (even 0).
As an example, consider summing up the integer values of a list of chars. The
initial value for the sum is 0. First, seqop transforms each input character
to an Int and adds it to the sum (of the partition). Then, combop just needs
to sum up the intermediate results of the partitions:
List('a', 'b', 'c').aggregate(0)({ (sum, ch) => sum + ch.toInt }, { (p1, p2) => p1 + p2 })- B

seqopoperator (e.g.Nilfor list concatenation or0for summation) and may be evaluated more than once

def ++:[B >: A, That](xs: Traversable[B])(implicit bf: CanBuildFrom[This, B, That]): That
As with ++ , returns a new collection containing the elements from the left
operand followed by the elements from the right operand.
It differs from ++ in that the right operand determines the type of the
resulting collection rather than the left one. Mnemonic: the COLon is on the
side of the new COLlection type.
Example:
scala> val x = List(1)
x: List[Int] = List(1)
scala> val y = LinkedList(2)
y: scala.collection.mutable.LinkedList[Int] = LinkedList(2)
scala> val z = x ++: y
z: scala.collection.mutable.LinkedList[Int] = LinkedList(1, 2)This overload exists because: for the implementation of ++: we should reuse
that of ++ because many collections override it with more efficient versions.
Since TraversableOnce has no ++ method, we have to implement that directly,
but Traversable and down can use the overload.
