how about calling it tuplesDo:, or partitionsDo:? How about this comment "Evaluate aBlock for the receiver, consuming as many elements at a time as the block has arguments".

By the way, ist there a method #partition: that takes a collection and splits it into chunks of a given size?

The following version of do works in a slighltly smarter way. It's a more generic version of #pairsDo:

#( 1 2 3 ) smartDo: [:a | Transcript cr; show: a] #( 1 1 2 2 3 3 ) smartDo: [:a :b | Transcript cr; show: a + b] #( 1 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 3 ) smartDo: [:a :b :c | Transcript cr; show: a + b + c]

I'm attaching a ChangeSet with the implementation. (Is this the best to contribute things? or should I package it in some other format?)

Cheers, Francisco
