Hi Tim,
I think that the ���as��� is essential and asArgsIn: would read as nice���

Betreff: Re: [Esug-list] destructDo:
Agree with intention revealing - #argumentsIn: would contract it a bit more (not sure the as strictly needed as we aren���t returning a result). And #argsIn: might be a bit too concise.
Like this proposal though.

Not bad! Captures the semantics nicely.
Just a bit long

Agreed, "...In:" is better than "...Do" because the latter implies iteration in Smalltalk. (never mind ifNotNilDo: which broke the convention)
And since block arguments are called "arguments" how about
aCollection asArgumentsIn: [:arg1 :arg2 :arg3 | ... ]
