Subject: Re: Is there a select and map for hashes instead of arrays?

From: Jeff [mailto:cohen.jeff@gmail.com] 
# I can take the returned arrays and transform them back into hashes,
# but it would be nice to avoid the extra step.
# Plus, it just surprised me that #select and #map aren't overridden for
# Hash to return new Hashes instead of arrays.
# Am I missing something?

none. just wait for 1.9 http://eigenclass.org/hiki.rb?Changes+in+Ruby+1.9#l81

i think this is an faq. in this regard, i'd like to request that the ruby faq be on the frontpage of ruby-lang.org and ruby-doc.org and that it be mirrored.

kind regards -botp
