Stop.
Iterable<T> filter(Predicate<Boolean> p)
is the method.
It should not and can not do the following
Set s = myset.filter( #{s->s > 3} )
why? because you can't change the signature to return a Set. You could
make it so you have this
Set s = (Set)myset.filter( #{s->s > 3} )
but then you run into the following with map
assertEqual(3, new Set("a","b","c").map( #s-> s.length() ).count())
how are you going to get that spec to pass?
or will map do a fundamentally different thing than filter?
