Why is this in SequenceableCollection abd not KeyedCollection? Would it not work if implemented in Collection itself? Methods shouldn’t as general as possible. For e smoke, just because one needs a method to operate in Strings doesn’t mean it is t more useful higher up in ArrayedCollection. Thought extended here pays dividends later on.

Re: The Inbox: Collections-ct.872.mcz

Hi Eliot,

not sure if I understand you correctly. You suggest to be as generic as possible, or you don't?

I think as we already define #at:ifAbsent: and #at:ifPresent:ifAbsent: on SequenceableCollection, it would be only consistent to implement #at:ifPresent: here as well.

What should be a KeyedCollection? KeyedSet already implements #at:ifPresent:.

> Would it not work if implemented in Collection itself?

I cannot imagine, because for example, a Set does not implement #at: ...

Best,

Christoph

In reply to this post by Eliot Miranda-2

Hi Eliot,

I agree with your point that methods shouldn't be more general than they need to be, but this isn't one of those cases. SequenceableCollection already behaves like a keyed collection with #at:, #at:ifAbsent:, and #at:ifPresent:ifAbsent:. I use them all the time, and sometimes I have an empty block for the ifAbsent:.

+1 for this in trunk after the 5.3 release.
