06:15 PM Ruby Feature #12775: Random subset of array

This definition of `#sample` seems a bit limited. I know it aligns with the statical definition but it is very easy do another way: `shuffle.take(n)`. Also, the interface is a little odd because it can return an element or an Array. Mayb... trans (Thomas Sawyer)

04:54 AM Ruby Feature #9704: Refinements as files instead of modules

Has any more thought been given to this? I had a recent request to have Ruby Facets to work as refinements, but I hesitate b/c it literally means creating a second copy of every extension method.

03:23 PM Ruby Feature #12360 (Rejected): More useful return values from bang methods

For example, currently Array#reject! works as follows:

Is allowing false necessary/useful? On the other hand, if it is, then might a nil-only ternary operator be useful too (regardless of this issue)?

06:49 PM Ruby Bug #10924: String#b

That's the irony. One of the reasons I choose #b is because I thought for sure that would almost certainly never become a conflict in the future. I would expect #base to be a much more likely vector for clashing.
