You can argue that “filterMap” is not completely faithful to the internal implementation, but I think it’s clearly better than “flatMap” in this case, which is even <i class="">more</i> incorrect. I’m not opposed to finding a better name than “filterMap”, but so far I haven’t seen one.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">-BJ</div></body></html>
