Hi Eliot,


not sure if I understand you correctly. You suggest to be as generic as possible, or you don't?

I think as we already define #at:ifAbsent: and #at:ifPresent:ifAbsent: on SequenceableCollection, it would be only consistent to implement #at:ifPresent: here as well.


What should be a KeyedCollection? KeyedSet already implements #at:ifPresent:.


> Would it not work if implemented in Collection itself?


I cannot imagine, because for example, a Set does not implement #at: ...

Best,
Christoph

Why is this in SequenceableCollection abd not KeyedCollection?  Would it not work if implemented in Collection itself? Methods shouldn’t as general as possible. For e smoke, just because one needs a method to operate in Strings doesn’t mean it is t more useful higher up in ArrayedCollection.  Thought extended here pays dividends later on.
