Hmm.  How about

"Return the starting consecutive elements that fulfill PRED."

Or "front elements"?

I tried to emphasize that the function is not about the whole sequence
but starts at the front and aborts once PRED is not fulfilled.  We can
later say explicitly that the predicate is called like (PRED ELT) - that
alone makes the sentence shorter.

But I'm not that good when using English language - better versions
welcome.

Sure.


Michael.
