Subject: Too Many Ways?

At what point do you cross over from:
	"Various ways to accomplish the same goal is good,
	because it allows the language to work the way
	different people think about working."
into the land of:
	"Duplicate names and techniques to do the same
	atomic thing ends up confusing the nubys"
?

results = my_array.collect{ ... }
results = my_array.map{ ... }

a = Proc.new{ ... }
b = lambda{ ... }
def whee; ...; end
c = self.method( :whee )

def foo &blockAsBlock
	blockAsBlock.call
	yield
end

foo &a
foo &b
foo &c

def bar blockAsParam
	blockAsParam.call
end

bar a
bar b
bar c
