04:03 AM Ruby Feature #15156 (Third Party's Issue): Have a 'c_headers' specifier in Gem::Specification.

Currently if one Ruby gem depends on the C extension of another Ruby gem, the only way
find the header of that gem is to run a `Gem::Specification.find_by_name` in the extconf.rb
of the gem needing the header and then adding the folder... v0dro (Sameer Deshmukh)

11:01 PM Ruby Feature #15074: Create 'official' C API documentation on ruby-doc.org

@hsbt what do you think about writing the docs within C API files like `ruby.h`, `intern.h` and `extension.h` itself so that ruby-doc.org can run doxygen on them to generate the relevant documents? It will keep the documentation up-to-da... v0dro (Sameer Deshmukh)

12:38 AM Ruby Feature #15074: Create 'official' C API documentation on ruby-doc.org

Alright. I think its a matter of adding the extension.rdoc file to the ruby-doc.org sources and then push changes to extension.rdoc in the core ruby repo. v0dro (Sameer Deshmukh)

01:16 AM Ruby Feature #15092: Provide step count in Range constructor

OK I'm convinced this is probably a bad idea since `step` returns an `ArithmeticSequence`
and is not a property of `Range`.
Closing the issue. v0dro (Sameer Deshmukh)

The array will return `[1,4,7,10]`. Sorry for previous mistake. v0dro (Sameer Deshmukh)

Ah yes. My bad. Editing the description. Thank you. v0dro (Sameer Deshmukh)

02:59 AM Ruby Feature #15092: Provide step count in Range constructor

Advantages of changing the constructor:
* Makes it easy to read test code for someone new to Ruby.
* Consistency in specifying step count in constructor (simple and straightforward way) and using
the shorter syntax (idiomatic Ruby way... v0dro (Sameer Deshmukh)

02:28 AM Ruby Feature #15092 (Rejected): Provide step count in Range constructor

I would like to propose making changes to the Range constructor so that a user can specify
a `step` count along with `start` and `stop`. Since Ruby 2.6 will introduce a `step` property
in Ranges anyway I think this will be a useful a... v0dro (Sameer Deshmukh)

03:04 AM Ruby Feature #15093 (Open): Retrive Array elements with infinite ranges specified by Float::INFINITY

Currently in Ruby head (2.6) the following gives an error:
~~~ ruby
2.6-head :001 > a = [1,2,3,4]
# => [1, 2, 3, 4]
2.6-head :002 > a[0..Float::INFINITY]

02:31 AM Ruby Feature #15074: Create 'official' C API documentation on ruby-doc.org

Alright. So as a first step can you please tell me how it would be possible to create
this page for the C API? Or maybe start with the wiki?
I can send a PR with some preliminary docs once you approve a course of action. v0dro (Sameer Deshmukh)
