-------------------------------------------------------------
General comment: you might want to take a look at the latest {{dropWhile}} and
{{takeWhile}} implementations on master - the previously mentioned anomaly has
been fixed. Plus they support explicit char/Character arg variants as well as a
default/explicit String arg.
{{collate}} does make sense - but probably with return type {{List<String>}}
rather than nested lists:
{code}
assert "abcdefg".collate(3) == ["abc", "def", "g"]
{code}
I would regard {{collectReplacements}} as a suitable alternative to
{{collectMany}}.
Closure versions of min/max would indeed map via SAM coercion if only a
Comparator version existed but a dedicated Closure version would handle the one
and two-arg variants, e.g. "aBc".min{ a, b -> b.toUpperCase() <=>
a.toUpperCase() }

> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: groovy-jdk
> Reporter: Peter Ledbrook
> Assignee: Guillaume Laforge
>
> Groovy enables developers to treat {{CharSequence}}s as if they were true
> sequences. For example, you can use a for loop and the array index operator.
> Some extension methods are missing though. One I was hoping to find was the
> {{count(Closure)}} method. I think it makes sense to incorporate any
> {{Iterable}} extension methods into {{CharSequence}} as well.
