In the case of NSDictionary, Underscore.m's map iterates over objects and keys. Fast Enumeration only iterates over the dictionary's keys, when you probably want the value or both.

But I agree, supporting any class that implements NSFastEnumeration would be nice to have.



You may already know this, but you can also enumerate over NSDictionary entries using enumerateKeysAndObjectsUsingBlock: [1] and enumerateKeysAndObjectsWithOptions:usingBlock: [2].

The latter giving you the ability to enumerate in reverse order or spread the enumeration across multiple cores using Grand Central Dispatch.

It's exactly what's used internally :)
