Actually the description is sufficiently generic to be valid for both  
select and collect. With select obviously the results will be a subset  
of the enumerator contents whereas with collect it will be a  
transformed copy of the enumerator contents, but in both cases I'll  
have a new array containing a set of results harvested from the  
original enumerator.
