This is all well and good but the document does not make this at all clear. I would not have fallen into this trap if it was documented well.
I also would never have expected that calling a find method on anything would ever modify the thing that I was calling it on. It makes sense that sorting an array might sort the array rather than returning a sorted array. In Ruby, it is a convention that distructive methods are appended with bang (!). So that var.replace(foo, bar) returns a new string with the appropriate replacments but var.replace!(foo, bar) modifies the value of var directly. Its unfortunate that this is not possible in javascript, although perhaps using something like me.find$() would be sufficiently indicative.
