I see what you mean, and I fully agree that changing existing
methods would cause lot of inconvenience. Kinda just wish this
functionality would be built-in (for performnce reasons), and
select!, reject!, delete_if! might be feasible candidates from
different points of view, if there wasn't history as a burden.
Anyhow than you for your insight.
