Description

Hello!

I was creating a list of class instances via some_list.map { |e| SomeClass.new(e) } and wondered if there's a Class#to_proc to make possible doing some_list.map(&SomeClass).
Well, there is not.

Basically, this is what I suggest:

class Class
  def to_proc
    proc { |*args| self.new(*args) }
  end
end

class Dog
  attr_reader :name

  def initialize(name)
    @name = name
  end
end

names = %w[Lucky Pluto Balto]
names.map(&Dog) # map names to dogs

Duplicate of #4910

PS: might be a bit more complicated in C,
but i would like this:

 proc { |*args, **keyargs| self.new(*args, **keyargs) }

so it works with keyargs too

Hi!
It's not really a duplicate since there is a different suggestion.

I have written PR in C based on Hash#to_proc definition

Nice try. But I think it's too concise that could lead to unreadable code.
