Hello,

i just noticed that #collect: used for ByteArray is quite crippling.
#(1 2 3 4) asByteArray collect: [:ea | ea hex ]

Sure i can do

bytearray asArray collect: [:ea | ea hex ]

but this is a bit confusing.. i even expected to get '^ self' in its
#asArray method (before trying it out), since
byte array is array.

I remember someone added new protocol, collect:into: .
Is it adopted already? If yes, then it seems time to migrate my stuff
to a newer image :)

But apart of it, do you think its ok to keep such #collect: behavior limitation?

'aaaaa' collect: [:ea | 1]
having same symthoms.. so it seems like i need to get some sleep.. :)
