I say include it. I use it to create dictionary keys from a head while
importing delimited text files. 

populateFrom: aReadStream delimitWith: delimiters labels: labelCollection

	| numberOfFields newEntry item |
	
	data := OrderedCollection new.
	
	labels := labelCollection collect: [ :each | each withBlanksTrimmed
asCamelCase asSymbol ].
	numberOfFields := labels size.
	[aReadStream atEnd] whileFalse: [
		item := (aReadStream nextLine) subStrings: delimiters.
		newEntry := Dictionary new: numberOfFields.
		item size > numberOfFields 
			ifTrue: [ self error: ['Number of data elements exeeds expected from
labels']].
		labels withIndexDo: [:label :index |
			newEntry at: label put: (item at: index ifAbsent: [nil]). ].
		data add: newEntry.
		].
