Description

Ref: https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/43481

Something we forgot to mention in [Feature #14394], is either a parameter or another method to only get direct descendants.

Active Support has been offering Class.subclasses as:

  def subclasses
    descendants.select { |descendant| descendant.superclass == self }
  end

It seems a bit silly to grab all descendants and then restrict the list when Class#descendants had to do some recursion to get them all in the first place.

Proposal

We could either implement Class#subclasses directly, or accept a parameter in Class#descendants, e.g. descendants(immediate = false).
