Re the all
family of names: one of the clear signals from the SE-0204 thread (adding lastIndex(where:)
is that people really don't like mismatched APIs. Presumably this would also go for having all
/contains
rather than all
/any
.
But we really really cannot be renaming contains
at this stage, purely so that we can introduce a new related method.* If you value the symmetry, this pretty much locks us in to containsOnly
instead.
Personally, I don't find the symmetry all that critical, so I'd be fine with ending up with all
/contains
(hence that was in the original proposal). But at the same time I don't feel that all
or allMatch
are any better than containsOnly
.
* the rename of index(where:)
is a little different, since it was a clear outlier from the existing first
/last
family, and index(where:)
didn't really fit in with it's siblings index(after:)
etc which are all about index advancement, not search.
