If you start with Collection in a Hierarchical Browser, you'll see a dozen classes that derive from Collection and are optimized for different things. The key methods are #select:, #detect:, #reject:, #collect:, and #inject:into:. Learn those first, because your methods would be built trivially with them, and then could be placed at Collection, not at Array, since your problem is more general than Arrays. :) -- Randal L.
