Contrib functions

[jridgewell]

I did a scan of the underscore contrib functions last night. Of all of them, the ones I've found useful are:

• chunk (Add _.chunk to Array functions. jashkenas/underscore#1919, implemented in lodash)
• conjoin and disjoin (Add Composite Predicate Functions jashkenas/underscore#2124, _.and, _.or, and _.not for combining predicates? lodash/lodash#1072)
• fromQuery (I've implemented this a handful of times)
• toQuery ($.param, but would complement fromQuery)

Any others you've found useful?

Realy? That's it?

I was thinking more along the lines of require("underdash/contrib") including most of them, or perhaps more than half.

But if it's going to just be a handful, maybe they go into "more", and we leave Underscore-Contrib alone.

At the moment -contrib doesn't meet the quality bar of lodash. If we take it on it means putting it through the same ringer, modularizing, documenting, getting test coverage up, & testing across all supported environments. It's a bit much for something that's been a bit of a dumping ground for odds and ends. I'm fine leaving it as its own package (if it's modularized on its own that's fine).

[jashkenas]

Alright then. Let's maybe pull a handful of our favorite methods for "more", and leave the rest of it as it stands.

We can use this ticket to nominate favorite contrib functions, if any.

I find weave & interpose potentially useful. splat and unsplat may be worth refining as well (lodash/lodash#756) (with index support)
