Phil Steitz closed MATH-1130.

    Resolution: Not a Problem

Per discussion on this ticket and the mailing list, there is no immediate need for these methods.

> These are utility functions mostly required as part of MathArrays.
> MathArrays:
> =============
> The requirement is as follows:
> a) double[] copyOf(double[] values, int begin, int length) ;
> Similar to most other functions that support slice defined  by  the array part from [begin, begin+length) ;its a requirement to copy a slice which is not available (the closest is copyOf(array, int len) which misses out the begin index)
> b) double[] removeAll(double[] values, int begin, int length, double removable);
> Need a function to remove a value from array slice defined by [begin,begin+length) and return the filtered version.
> c) double[] replaceAll(double[] values, int begin, int length, double oldValue, double newValue);
> Need a function to replace inplace an oldValue substituted with newValue in the array slice defined by [begin,begin+length) and return the original  complete array with just replaced values only in the segment [begin,begin+length)
> MathUtils
> =========
> boolean canEqual(double d1, double d2) ;
> provide a canEqual function that is slightly better than exisitng MathUtils.equals. We could also improve existing equals method however.
> So the change here is that the new enhanced canEqual can do a quick check on Nans  and then move to a detailed Double.compare(..) method. This avoids the Double.compare call when any one of them is NaN.
