Description

Hi everyone!

There's a #tap method, that yields reciever to block and returns reciever itself.
I would like to see method, which would return yield's result.

some_object.some_method.pass { |x| x && another_object.another_method(x) }

I've seen many code samples that had a some "middle-variables" to store #some_method result.
Those variables are useless after few lines of code, so it would be great to create them in a limited scope (block).

P.S. I am very sorry for my english. I hope you understood me:D
P.P.S. I think there should be a better name than pass for such method

UPD. I've created a PR to see if #pass fits: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/1521

$ irb
>> Time.now.pass { |t| t.sunday? ? 'Yay!' : ':(' }
==> ":("

Oh, I forgot to notice. There's #instance_eval method, which do the job, but it evaluates block in object context, so it doesn't fit

Well, obviously I can't use searching:D
So, what about naming?

#12760 suggests yield_self name, but imho it's too long.

Check https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/1521 pls.

I don't think "pass" is a good name for it.
