in thread What's the best way to do a pattern search like this?

If I don't mention it, someone else will. Don't suggest the use of map in a void context. You are taking the trouble to build a whole return list, which you just throw away. It is more efficient and idiomatic to use for for such tasks.

    Good point, I'll update the code. It's too much Golf you know, shaving those two chars by using map instead of for.
