Chris Anderson commented on COUCHDB-57:
---------------------------------------

playing with Spidermonkey more and realized that my collect() is available 
natively as myarray.map(). The unique() function should still be useful.

> Javascript helper functions for use in map and reduce functions
> ---------------------------------------------------------------

> I've been playing with Reduce, and enjoying it. I added a two functions: 
> unique() and collect() - they are similar to sum() in that they transform 
> arrays. Unique also has an option to provide a count of items found in the 
> source array.
> I just wanted to share these function with everyone and suggest that a helper 
> namespace be established in the view server to contain functions like these.
