I don't know. But I would like to encourage people to not use it and use keysAndValuesDo: instead. Then we could deprecate and remove that method.

It's very easy to write a rewrite rule to do this. Less is More and all that kind of thing.

Re: doWithIndex:

please don't start deprecating code, there is tons of other stuff that
needs attention and you shall give me a huge headache I'm sure :), aren't
you good with VM stuff? I heard that there's a slot open :)

Hmmmmmm... interesting...

If we do that, then do: would seem deficient as it wouldn't be called
valuesDo:. So perhaps we should deprecate keysAndValuesDo:, and
rename/merge all others into withKeysDo: instead? Besides, it's
shorter :).

This raises the question of #withKeysDo: vs #doWithKeys:,
perhaps we want both of those so people can order block's the
arguments as they like it most :-)
