Description

GH-PR: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/4333

In my experience, many developers choice size, length and count as a matter of taste.
And Ruby already provide Array#count for performance improvement reason since https://github.com/ruby/ruby/commit/921fb6ae2593d07d35df0f1f487b9d64a0db9520

So how about to provide simple bridge implementation into Hash?

I have checked the result with benchmark-driver, it looks made faster for no arguments pattern, and does not make much slower other arguments pattern.
It is compared with recently code https://github.com/ruby/ruby/tree/989e22f394c48aae301a0239cad14871dfa96d43.
