::::My opinion: I interpret this particular task as "Apply a callback to a '''collection'''". The array-ness is secondary, it is the callback that is of interest. --[[User:IanOsgood|IanOsgood]] 17:11, 15 January 2008 (MST)
:::::Did anybody notice there's no task description? This can all be wrapped with a clarification. Feel free to clean it up. --[[User:Short Circuit|Short Circuit]] 21:14, 15 January 2008 (MST)
::::::I did add a task description. I'm concerned that it may not be specific enough to qualify as a callback. I didn't use the term "collection", as that would have special meaning in VB.Net and (I think) Java. --[[User:Short Circuit|Short Circuit]] 00:19, 17 January 2008 (MST)
 
:::::I agree that the callback aspect is the gist of this task. This place might not be the best for me to have raised my concern. Still, it seems that the list-vs-array specification is part of a pattern of problem that occurs for some languages, under some tasks, which we may want to overcome by refinement of task descriptions. --[[User:TBH|TBH]] 21:25, 15 January 2008 (MST)
