Right, it's a bit weird to base your argument on a fictional survey with results you made up :) > But do you really think I'm wrong in considering each of the four > behaviors listed at the top as something that a reasonable Perl 6 user > might expect a routine called `flatmap` to do In a way, yeah. deepmap doesn't do a combination of .deep and .map called in a particular order. I'd expect .flatmap to do something that *can't* be replicated by putting a dot in its name to make two other method calls. But it does, so IMO .flatmap is kinda useless.
