Proposal: Map.only and Map.except (Map.take and Enum.take are pretty different but named the same)

[he...@ryanwinchester.ca]

I keep forgetting Map.take because Enum.take is so different and I usually look at Enum docs for functions before Map or List.

I think it would be nice if Map had Map.only(map,keys) and Map.except(map, keys). They could start off by just being an alias for take and drop?

I guess ithe same should apply to Keyword as well.

Thanks

Thanks Ryan,

Note though we don't have "function aliases" in Elixir and I don't think the pros here outweighs the potential confusion of having two functions that do exactly the same thing. :)

Yeah,

I was expecting that response but thought I'd ask anyway on the small chance my dreams would come true 🤣.
