Rails spinoffs - Apr 2006 - document.getElementsByClassName (prototype) and Element.childrenWithClassName (scriptaculous) redundancy?

Is there a reason scriptaculous provides what appears to be a redundant 
function?  The reason I''m asking is that it only seems to be used twice
throughout all of scriptaculous, and it doesn''t appear to work properly
(for
some reason it''s returning the actual element, rather than an array
with all
of the elements)

If there is no reason, I''ll modify it to use
document.getElementsByClassName
and submit a patch.

Thanks!

actually, it is working properly, the function that is calling it is simply 
interpreting the results incorrectly :)

However, there''s still that redundancy.  I''ve filed a ticket
about this here:

any input would be greatly appreciated :)
