------------------------------------------------------------

it was not assigned, nor closed/commented, and improvement suggestion needed in latest snapshot.but ack on decision made on api stability. thanks for letting me know [~josephkb] 
sad, as i updated 5 files for a trivial pursuit, with the scala style checks :-) :-)

> Improvement: computation
> For categorical features with many categories, it could be more efficient to store Split.categories as a Set, not a List.  (It is currently a List.)  A Set might be more scalable (for log n lookups), though tests would need to be done to ensure that Sets do not incur too much more overhead than Lists.
