ok, thanks. >> I was just wondering whether -inverseFilter would be better named - >> filterOut?

MPW borrows most of its terminology from Smalltalk, so I suppose that's why it uses -reject as -select inverse operation. I find a bit hard to remember that -reject is the inverse operation that corresponds to -select though. However it could be nice to have Smalltalk HOM variants built on top of -filter, -map etc. in addition to the Smalltalk block variants. I mean if we have: aCollection filterWithBlock: [:each | each age > 16] // Étoilé generic idiom aCollection filter age > 16 // Étoilé generic HOM idiom aCollection select: [:each | each age > 16] // Smalltalk-specific idiom we might want to support with the SmalltalkSupport framework or similar: aCollection select age > 16 // Smalltalk-specific HOM idiom I took these examples from an existing Smalltalk HOM implementation described here: http://www.cincomsmalltalk.com/publicRepository/HigherOrderMessaging.html > Perhaps -filterOut can work.

Fully agreed. Is there a native speaker to comment on that? :-) Cheers, Quentin. _______________________________________________ Etoile-dev mailing list Etoile-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/etoile-dev
