Because there isn't any #collect:from: in the Smalltalks
I use.  I've already mentioned the operation I added,
which is named consistently with the ANSI methods, namely
	<class> withAll: collection collect: aBlock
This also goes with
	<collection> addAll: collection collect: aBlock

#withAll:collect: is nice, and I'd like to see it in the
new standard, but it's long winded and it's limiting.
