No.
Well you're lucky, my child not yet awoke:
Is this a threat? :lol:
1) size is often implemented O(1) above is O(n) 2) typing size is very short compared to open code you provided 3) size has many senders which makes it worth 4) size is part of ANSI Which of these points apply to (someCollection collectAsSet: #asUppercase) vs (someCollection collect: #asUppercase as: Set).
Anyway, this is an endless discussion. You have your point. I have mine. I have my own #collectAsSet: and I am fine with that and I will never use #collect:as:
But you could find better example of some more questionable methods in Squeak/Pharo.
2013/12/10 Roberto Minelli <roberto.minelli@usi.ch> So if "self do: [:each | tally := tally + 1]" computes the size of a collection, why do we need the #size selector?

So if collect:as: does the job why the hell add yet another selector?
