Here's a question for the language designers: On on hand kotlins collections have extensions like

toList

or

toMap

. On the other hand

asSequence

and

asIterable

. From my testing the

to

methods copy the collection where the

as

methods create views on the data. Which means if the collections changes, the views also have access to the mutated data. Is this a not documented rule? Would it be "wrong" if one of my own

asCustomList

copies the data instead of creating a view? Should I call it

toCustomList

?

We stick to this convention when naming new functions in stdlib.
