Importing Hash#slice, Hash#slice!, Hash#except, and Hash#except! from ActiveSupport

Description

According to my experiences, the following two idioms often appeare in application codes.

  1. hash = other_hash.select { |k, | [:key1, :key2, :key3].include? k }
  2. hash = other_hash.reject { |k, | [:key1, :key2, :key3].include? k }

On Rails, they can be written in the following forms by using ActiveSupport's features.

  1. hash = other_hash.slice(:key1, :key2, :key3)
  2. hash = other_hash.except(:key1, :key2, :key3)

I think the latter forms are shorter and more readable than the former ones.

So I propose to import the following methods from ActiveSupport:

  • Hash#slice
  • Hash#slice!
  • Hash#except
  • Hash#except!
