Feature #15211: Integer.try_convert

• Status: Open
• Priority: Normal

I found Integer doesn't have try_convert method, which converts the argument by to_int method without explicit conversions like Integer().
This is useful to treat an Integer-like argument like as methods written in C.

I don't know about the other try_convert

how does Ruby react if you try to overwrite the try_convert from the ruby side?

i suspect that currently it doesn't care, should that be changed?
