I am a native American speaker, so your English is probably better than mine ;-)
I also was surprised by the result. But IdentitySet>>collect: is doing
the right thing in iterating over all the elements of the identity set:
| r |
r := Random new.
((IdentitySet withAll: #(1 2 3 1.0 2.0 3.0))
collect: [:e | r next]) size ==> 6
The confusing behavior is the result of answering a Set rather than IdentitySet.
Eliot argues for answering an IdentitySet, Levente explains why this may
not be a good idea, and Eliot agrees that Levente's suggestion of using
the explicit #collect:as: is a satisfactory solution.
