Which is why I prefaced with "if it can work that way..." A JIRA can be for feature requests, and that's what this would be.  Whether just adding a Comparable based accumulate function is the solution, or making accumulate generic like "from" is now, a JIRA does not have to specify the solution, just the request.

Now don't be hasty with a JIRA. Using Comparable for the arguments of the min and max accumulate functions will give you a result that is -- Comparable. So:

  $min: Comparable() from accumulate( Schedule( $d: date ), min( $d ) )

OK, this will give you the minimum data, bound to $min, although it won't let you write any constraint for the "Comparable" result fact. But, what's worse, it will not let you write

  $min: Number( intValue > 100 ) from accumulate( X( $y: y ), min( $y ) )

any more (unless I'm very much mistaken).

Well, if it can work that way it should.  I'd say open a JIRA and request that feature.  It works with the "principle of least confusion." :)
