I'd put it more strongly -- contains? is definitely poorly named, inviting the assumption that it can be used where you really want "some" with a set as the predicate. I've made the mistake myself and so have my students, many times. So now I single this out for a special warning in my classes, saying that the name is misleading so beware. I guess it's too late to do anything about it now, but I think this name was clearly a mistake. -Lee -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
