Range#minmax is slow and never returns for endless ranges

Description

current situation:

  • (1..).minmax runs forever
  • (1..).max raises "cannot get the maximum of endless range"
  • (1..Float::INFINITY).minmax runs forever
  • (1..Float::INFINITY).max returns instantly
  • (1..1_000_000_000).minmax takes one minute
  • (1..1_000_000_000).max returns instantly

my suggestion:

  • implement minmax in range.c, return [range_min, range_max]
  • for endless ranges, this will trigger the same error as max does
  • delegate to enum (rb_call_super) only if called with a block (?)

i could perhaps provide a PR if you can point me to some information on how to contribute.

cheers!
