Excerpts from Dave Rolsky's message of Sat Aug 15 20:12:48 -0700 2009:
I'd like to propose some changes in Array before we release. Specifically,
I'd like to make our names match names in List::(More)Util(s)
So with that in mind, I'd like to rename:
first => head
The term "head" is pretty darn common for "first element in the list". And
this leaves us free to rename:
find => first
That's what List::MoreUtils calls it.
We decided to get rid of the MXAH 'first', because anyone who wants it can get
it (likewise 'last'):
handles => {
first_thingy => [ get => 0 ],
last_thingy => [ get => -1 ],
}
That's fine with me.
head and tail were briefly in, but are now gone.
Also fine. I don't think these are terribly important.
