Description

An extension method should be implemented which will be similar to Smalltalk collect method

From Smalltalk wiki:

Often we want to perform an operation on each element and then return the results as another collection.

myOC collect: [ :element | element + 5 ].

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study existing extension methods in ELENA's standard library (e.g., map or similar). Understand the pattern for defining extension methods, then implement 'collect' that applies a block to each element and returns a new collection.
