Why doesn't Array.from() pass the array to the mapFn?

[the kojoman]

Thanks Jordan, filter was, of course, what I was looking for. Just got
carried away, when I saw it had a mapFn as an option and thought I could
use that somehow to cut a corner.
By the way, and kind of off topic, why is mutating a list mid-iteration bad
news? I'm just curious, and obviously not a computer engineer.
