"cull" reminds me of "culling", which makes me think of 3D backface
culling and such, i.e. removing polygons. But as far as I understand the
thread, pick/winnow/glean should not remove the elements return, or
should it? 

Other than that, I fear future archeologist will mistake Ruby code for
an 18th century english play with such fanciful words in the built-in
classes. require "YeOldeEnglish.rb" :-)
