Sounds fine to me, but I'll admit not being a native English speaker. I know I would never have thought looking for `drop` when looking for the non-mutating version. Seems I'm not familiar enough with Rust and Haskell. It's a certainly a nice thing that if I began by writing `remove`, autocompletion would have suggested `removing`: no guesswork with synonyms to find the non-mutating variant.
