Ok, I reimplemented this method as Bert suggested and in the next
version of Aida/Web it will be:
OrderedCollection>>removeAll
"remove all elements quickly"
self removeAllSuchThat: [:each | true]. "Squeak specific"
" self become: OrderedCollection new " "VW specific"
Note that this method is still an extension of Aida and it must
therefore be portable among dialects, which is the reason of commented
code for VW above.
Best regards
Janko

One thing I wasn't clear on is whether Bert's suggestion:

Is okay, and why it's okay while many of the other similar approaches
were not.
Bert's suggestion is simple and works well.
The only question is about efficiency.
Up to (Down to?) subclasses to optimize it.
#removeAllSuchThat: is actually optimized in subclasses (look at its
implementation in OrderedCollection).
