Ignoring the opinion about -1 vs end (which I disagree with, but again only
as a matter of opinion), these two are quite different. The latter is more
inefficient -- it creates an unnecessary list and then coerces it -- and it
also potentially raises issues if myImageName is Unicode text by virtue of
its coercion to string class.
