Description

I would like to beg for map! directive in Module. I can imitate it with this code:

class Module
  def map! **hash, &block
    hash.each_pair { |mapped_method_symbol, original_method_symbol|
      define_method mapped_method_symbol do |*args, &b|
        block.( send original_method_symbol, *args, &b )
      end
    }
  end
end

And then

class Foo; attr_accessor :name end
class Bar; attr_accessor :name end
class Baz; attr_accessor :name end

class FooBarBazCollection < Array
  def foos; select { |e| e.is_a? Place } end
  def bars; select { |e| e.is_a? Transition } end
  def bazs; select { |e| e.is_a? Arc } end
  map! fn: :foos, barn: :bars, bazn: :bazs do |retval| retval.map &:name end
end

I solemnly declare that I have encountered this pattern in my work on Petri net gem sufficiently many times to warrant this meta approach. The above method #map! is not perfect, because it makes the "mapped" methods more omnivorous -- accepting even such sets of arguments, for which the originals returned ArgumentError. I do not know how to solve this without asking for a core-level solution.
