Subject: [ruby-core:28425] [Feature #2515] Array#select!

Issue #2515 has been updated by Roger Pack.


Oh I see your argument now--that select! is too confusing of a name...

For me, though, it makes sense (given some background ruby knowledge), ex:

>> a = [1,2,3]
>> a.select!{|b| b == 1}
>> a
=> [1]

This makes sense based on my knowledge of how reject and reject! work, map and map! work, etc.  My thinking is that only more advanced Ruby programmers use ! methods, and they would probably already know that "! means a destructive change to self".

Is it too confusing?

Much thanks.
