I agree. But to me #where also conveys the same meaning as #select.
Plus I tend to like it's use in higher-order messaging, and I have no
desire to tread on those toes. However, you did get me thinking in a
different direction which ultimately led me to #found, which conveys
it's relation to #find and that we want, not the element itself, but
what was "found". Though I admit, it has a strange tense for a method
name.
