After reading about the iterator view there were some confusions left which I want to mention here.

The explanation following this paragraph is quite confusing to me:
If all the builtins are defined that way, we can get rid of using lift and deref in the stencil composition. That is probably a good idea for the frontend, but not for the intermediate level. Here the illustration. Suppose we have a stencil:
Most of the functions used there aren't defined anywhere (e.g., hannes_sum).
A bit subjective, but I find the EBNF notation a bit hard to read (maybe use space instead of comma for concatenation and use ( ... )* for repetition instead of { ... }).
Then some of the signatures are a bit confusing, e.g. what does this mean:
Stencil<Optional<V>, V> deref;
