And I thought that would slip through unnoticed ;-)
The original suggestion was, aBlock>>apply: aCollection from: start to:
stop.
Since only collections can know how to do that, aBlock and aCollection had
to be swapped. Of course your suggestion #from:to:apply: is also a good
one.

Wrt #join, my favorites are your joinUsing: and useToJoin: this is
Smalltalk land and people (incl. newbies) use method finder, if not for
finding #substring.
I use #substring as an exmple for the utility of method finder because in
other languages is takes one or two arguments and so in Smalltalk *must*
have another name.
