Hi Esteban,
I am an American English speaker, and I have never used t
A stretch for rational behind cull:
We are 'culling' the excess variables passed to the block (roughly
equivalent to killing animals when there are too many of them).

yet, it does not looks like having anything to do with executing a block with
optional parameters :)

'Cull' is not a word I ever used in any english based conversation :)

Yes, also I can u
In other engines where we want scripting to be used, we use a cull: or
value: with a prefix. In the case of Spec, this could be specCull:cull:.
This could be used as an extension of Symbol without spawning religious
wars :).
The funny thing is that in all these engines that do define special value
The thing is that cull:cull: can be used on block with 1 parameter. If you
consider symbol as a block with one parameter then it will work in the same
style.
In other words: methods that use value:value: want to ensure that they are
working with 2 param block. Methods that use cull:cull: don’t

For example in Spec’s ListModel there is a thing called displayBlock:. And I
have to write `list displayBlock: [ :package | package name ]`, while I think
that
`list displayBlock: #name` is clear enough, but the block receives #cull:cull:

I believe this was already discussed long ago, with a decision not to go
further that #cull: (or #value:) on Symbol, some even find that too much from a
design perspective.
I like writing code like
#(1 2 3) collect: #asString
especially interactively, since it is less verbose.

Hi,
maybe we should implement #cull:cull: in symbol so that it will call #cull:?
Because this looks correct, if block has 1 parameter, then #cull:cull: boils
down to #value:, but when we have a symbol instead, we have an exception.
I can open an issue and implement that stuff, but I want a feed
