The overarching context for this ticket is chainable aliases. As syntactic dressing for a literal, yes there is value in the existing method names. And... phluid61 (Matthew Kerwin)

11:53 PM Ruby Feature #15975: Add Array#pluck

Apologies for posting to a closed ticket, but here's a thought in case it helps someone propose something else in future: partial application in `#to_proc`, e.g. `games.map(&(:[], :steam_id))`
I hate the syntax I just invented, but the ... phluid61 (Matthew Kerwin)

I can see the utilitiy, it would be good if it had a similar signature to #fetch :

hsh = {}
hsh.fetch_or_set(:a, 1) # => 1, hsh = {... phluid61 (Matthew Kerwin)

Don't raise a negative number to a non-Integer power. That's just maths. phluid61 (Matthew Kerwin)

09:01 PM Ruby Bug #17029: URI.parse considers https://example.com/### invalid when browsers consider it valid

What about adding a parameter to a... phluid61 (Matthew Kerwin)
