I have a collection. Suppose I have 10 different outputs I want and
the decision as to which output a node is routed to (not necessarily
mutual exclusive though) can be encapsulated in a predicate (hence
amenable to a filter HOF).

I only want to iterate over the collection once but I wish to apply
the 10 predicates to each node in the sequence so as to determine
which of the 10 outputs (again not necessarily mutually exclusive) the
node will feature in.

The algorithm is straightforward using structural recursion (or tail
recursion if tail call elimination is an issue). Asking whether there
is an idiomatic XQuery solution that is different  from this.
