Does anyone else wish they could easily iterate bit by bit through the Registry?
I end up using the Registry a lot to track large numbers of actor processes, usually hundreds of thousands or so. A lot of times, I’d like to slowly cycle through them, grabbing a couple hundred or so at a time.
If Registry.select had something similar to a limit with continuations, I’d be a much happier camper.
Is this need hyper unusual? Or do others wish they had this functionality?

Something similar to :ets.select/3 so that I could grab say 50 key-values at a time until I reached the end of the table. Except, the continuation would need to jump across table partitions. I can write something myself that does this, but it requires writing code against the internals of Registry – and it would be really nice if it were implemented at the top level.
