So James Gray III would be what, James Gray, Junior Junior?  Or like
Great Junior?  I'm pretty sure the numbering is continued practice
that was used mostly for political reasons.  Royal families during
Newton's time, for example, had strange marriages, and it was good to
keep track of someone's lineage, especially if you have the same name
floating around ;)  This isn't just a western concept, either.

I agree, #map makes more sense, but the use of #collect doesn't bother
me that much.  I think I would get irritated, however, if I saw both
in the same code.
