Oh, thank you for clarifying this.

Well..
arr.sort() - mutating method. verb.
arr.sorted() - non-mutating. "..ed"
and..
arr.filter() - non-mutating. verb. I think a user who read API Design 
Guidelines can expect arr.filter() will be a mutating method.

Is it "SE-0006" ?
https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/master/proposals/0006-apply-api-guidelines-to-the-standard-library.md

Could you please point me to lines in this document where it says that 
"map/filter/reduce" are exceptions and we don't need to rename them to 
mapped/filtered/reduced ? Thank you.
