Adding key transformation to .mapValues() would only make it less specialised (it’s called .mapValues after all ;), plus it would be incompatible with any simultaneous/future lazy implementation since you can’t just transform the keys lazily (you also need a way to transform them back if you intend to use them for lookups).

Whoops right you are, sorry! Hmm, in that case, any examples that need the key for the transformation? I usually view keys as arbitrary, so needing them for this seems a little strange (hence my misunderstanding, at least that’s the reason I’m going to stand by in favour of “I can’t read” ;)
