Indeed. It is better to have to look up the name in the beginning.

Also, a good IDE will give you a list of alternatives and it is 
important to keep this list as short as possible. Ideally there 
should be no more than 10 functions for any type in order to 
maximize the benefit of using an IDE. So few functions, but with 
very descriptive names make me more efficient (I don't have to 
look it up in the documentation).

Basically, it is better to have a small core that can be used 
with lambdas for the specifics. I notice when I do Python that I 
don't use all the special functions. I use the generic ones with 
lambdas instead.
