I was wondering why it is called "apply" anyway - the traditional term 
would be "do". The only reason to call it "apply" is if it's a Block method.

I'd suggest that the proper selector for that method would be

	from:to:do:

which indeed exists already, and which would just get a speed 
enhancement by the new primitive.
