Hmm, let me think about that method name... you are "mapping" a set of
things into another set (I'm using "set" for a simple group of
things); "collect" makes much less sense to me.  What exactly are you
collecting?  Probably just vernacular used in CS circles that I'm not
aware of, but silly nonetheless.
