Quick thought:


Why are you reaching for the "form..." rule for the mutating methods when
there


are clear verb counterparts?


location: locate


successor: succeed


We're not using successor(i) anymore, as noted below, and furthermore
c.succeed(&i) strongly implies the wrong meaning. I didn't consider
using


c. locate(...:&i ... )


primarily because I never thought of it and nobody suggested it IIRC,
but I also don't see how it would work in a family with
c.location(after: i) et al. Suggestions?


What is wrong with


c.locate(after: i)


?

Just to start with, it doesn't form a noun phrase.


Ah, my bad, I had completely missed the point of the problem (somehow thinking in the old model, not realizing that `c` is the collection and `i` to be mutated instead of `c`).


Yeah, in that case I totally agree :-)


Sorry for the noise...
