In these 2 cases, all that's needed are aliases. What's wrong with
that? We have aliases other places in the ruby's stdlib, and no one is
crying out to retire collect! in favor of map!, for instance.
(Besides, I like the each_* names somewhat better; they're more
familiar to your average rubyist. Not that I've ever actually used
either method....)
