[ruby-core:101755] [Ruby master Feature#17472] HashWithIndifferentAccess like Hash extension

Issue #17472 has been updated by Dan0042 (Daniel DeLorme).


I'm also against this, but I think a more general-purpose version might be ok. In my code I use a `NormalizedHash` class which calls `key = normalize(key)` for every method with a `key` argument (as well as `merge`, etc.) I use this base class to define subclasses with specific `normalize` methods; `HeaderHash` converts keys to Http-Header-Camelcase, `OptionsHash` raises an error if the key is not a Symbol. Something that can be used as the basis of different implementations (including `HashWithIndifferentAccess`) might make sense in the stdlib. Might.

Rails has [ActiveSupport::HashWithIndifferentAccess](https://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveSupport/HashWithIndifferentAccess.html), which is widely used in Rails to handle Request, Session, ActionView's form construction, ActiveRecord's DB communication, and so on. It receives String or Symbol and normalize them to fetch the value. But it is implemented with Ruby. If we provide C implementation of that, Rails will gain the performance improvement.
