02:24 AM Ruby Feature #14666: nil.any?{} should return false

I fully aggree with all the commenters.
It boils down to if nil should be Enumerable.
Obviously it should be not. because nil is special.
But then nil means "not in list" or the empty list or the not existing list?

11:06 PM Ruby Feature #14666 (Rejected): nil.any?{} should return false

Hi everyone at ruby/trunk
I encountered `nil.any?`
```
undefined method `any?' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)
```
I fully agree with all of yours,
that `nil` should be kept slim.
But than, on the other hand,
the existen... eike.rb (Eike Dierks)

02:19 AM Ruby Feature #14122 (Open): Add LogicError

Dear friends at ruby
I'd like to suggest a new error for ruby-core: LogicError
That error should be thrown
upon operations that are detected to be illogic or impossible by semantics.
I believe that this could improve the error me... eike.rb (Eike Dierks)

12:51 AM Ruby Feature #14114 (Open): Add #step for Array, Enumerable, Enumerator

This must have been discussed before,
please reassigned and close this one.
I want to propose an extension to the ruby core api:
- add #step(n) for Enumerable, Enumerator
- coerce the step() api across all the api (see Numeric#step... eike.rb (Eike Dierks)

10:52 PM Ruby Feature #13332 (Feedback): Forwardable#def_instance_delegator nil

I'd like to suggest an extension to the signature of stdlib Forwardable#def_instance_delegator
currently (ruby 2.3.3) it is declared as:
```ruby
def_instance_delegator(accessor, method, ali = method)
```

03:22 AM Ruby Feature #13244 (Rejected): stdlib/Logger: add option: level

I'd like to suggest
to enhance the interface of stdlib/logger
The #new method should allow for an option to set the log level:
~~~ruby
Logger#new(logdev, level:'WARN')
~~~
As with ruby 2.4 there is no provision to set the log... eike.rb (Eike Dierks)

11:36 PM Ruby Feature #12625 (Open): TypeError.assert, ArgumentError.assert

I am well aware that ruby is not typed (and so for a good reason)
But sometimes it makes sense to check the types (or values) of arguments upfront.
(It actually helps to narrow down your arguments to the known)

10:02 PM Ruby Feature #12624 (Rejected): !== (other)

I'd like to suggest a new syntactic feature.
There should be an operator `!==`
which should just return the negation of the `===` operator
### aka:
```ruby
def !==(other)
! (self === other)
end
```
### Rationale:

08:19 PM Ruby Feature #12482: ArgumentError.new(nil) should give a better description

OK, that change would break the spec.
I do understand that breaking the spec something that we rarely want to do.
I found a workaround:
ArgumentError.new([arg]) # wrap arg in Array to give a better error message when arg is nil
