+1 I prefer the names map/reduce/filter. However, as Russel pointed out, the other times this has been brought up the “opposers” have prevailed with the argument that it is easy enough for people to add these methods themselves with an extension modules [1] or with a simple category class. The few times I’ve wanted these methods I usually just go with a category class.
