It is a simple map then reduce to return the maximum length, a fairly trivial modification thereof to return the full name, but when I want to return the original object, I can't think of a good way to do this.<p>The best I can figure is first mapping to a nested array where the first element is the object and the second is the computed property but that seems really messy.
