When I read aggregateRuns:, I think the opposite; something combining
different runs into a single entity, not something that splits a single
collection into constituent runs...

Something like (split/collect)runsAccordingTo: sounds more descriptive to my
ears, at least.

I like groupBy: but in Squeak groupBy: produces a dictionary with unique keys ignoring the multiple sequences...

split already carries the meaning of preserving the sequences, but we have to tell to split at a change of value....

Run is also quite explicit...

groupByRuns: / splitRuns:
