Re^2: Efficiently finding values of an extremity (WTDI)

I like that way of slicing it as well, but I think the name 'minima' fits it less well than it fits my way of slicing it. It is nice that yours only requires a single routine rather than 4 flavors. (I also like that mine uses a simpler key-generating function.)

I'd call it "firsts" but I was already told that would be confusing since there is already List::Util::first. Perhaps "leaders"?

Yeah, I was originally inclined to call it "first". "firsts" is even better. But how about "optima"?	[reply]
