The Smalltalk semantics for "collect" is transform. Think: I have an aggregate of People and I'll produce an aggregate of Names by "collect"ing each person's name. The "into a collection" is definitely true when we supply a collector but isn't a required interpretation when the incoming aggregate isn't a collection. Currently though, if the incoming aggregate is Set or array, we produce List as the output aggregate (though collectNested preserves the Set). The collect using the identity transform is a bit of an anomaly. Having some "map" variants certainly let's us not break compatibility if we don't mind the extra variants. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
