Not to hijack the thread, but I secretly pine for sort_by!().  I  
swear I've never used it when it wasn't like:

arr = arr.sort_by { ... whatever ... }

P.S.  I have no problem at all with select!().  Honestly, the English  
seems fine to me.  It's a real word and I know what it means.  It's  
certainly more English than extname(), callcc(), nitems(), etc.
