proposal: slices: add transform

[lasiar]

Proposal Details

Proposal Details

I propose the following:

func Transform[S ~[]E, E any, T any](sl S, f func(E) T) []T {
	out := make([]T, len(sl))
	for i, t := range sl {
		out[i] = f(t)
	}

	return out
}

Something similar to the method from JS: map.

Using this code, you:

• never forget to pre-allocate the slice
• avoid code deduplication

Sample code:

type user struct {
    id int64
}

users := make([]user, 0)

...

sendByIDs(slices.Transform(users, func(u user) int64 {
    return u.id
}))

Naming

I believe that the name "map" could be confusing and may be associated with the type.
