[ruby-core:102493] [Ruby master Feature#17608] Compact and sum in one step

> Many use cases of Array#sum are preceded with the compact

Can you count on your app or your observation?

```
ko1@aluminium:~$ gem-codesearch 'compact\.sum' | wc -l
75
```

not so many cases in gem-codesearch.

----------------------------------------
Feature #17608: Compact and sum in one step
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/17608#change-90387

* Author: sawa (Tsuyoshi Sawada)
* Status: Rejected
* Priority: Normal
----------------------------------------
Many use cases of `Array#sum` are preceded with the `compact` method or are followed by a block to ensure the value is addable.

```ruby
a = [1, nil, 2, 3]

a.sum # !> TypeError

a.compact.sum # => 6

a.sum{_1 || 0} # => 6
```

I propose there should be a way to do that in one step. I request either of the following:

A. Change the current behaviour to skip `nil`s.

```ruby
a.sum # => 6
```

B. `Array#filter_sum` method

```ruby
a.filter_sum # => 6
```

C. An option for `Array#sum` 

```ruby
a.sum(compact: true) # => 6
```
