[ruby-core:106405] [Ruby master Feature#18369] users.detect(:name, "Dorian") as shorthand for users.detect { |user| user.name == "Dorian" }

Issue #18369 has been updated by baweaver (Brandon Weaver).


Pattern Matching may make a very interesting tie-in here for a short-hand:

```ruby
# Struct provides built-in pattern matching abilities
Person = Struct.new(:first_name, :last_name, :age)

jim = Person.new("Jim", "Smith", 30)
jill = Person.new("Jill", "Smith", 20)
sue = Person.new("Sue", "Smith", 40)

people = [jim, jill, sue]

# Currently works
people.select { _1 in { first_name: /^J/, age: 18.. } }

# Potential 1: bare keywords
people.select { _1 in first_name: /^J/, age: 18.. }

# Potential 2: `in` shorthand
people.select(&in first_name: /^J/, age: 18..)
```

Generally I think 1 is doable, 2 is stretching, though it would be nice to have syntax that allows to shorten one-line matchers for predicates where they would be commonly used.

Hi,

I was thinking I often do things like `collection.detect { |item| item.attribute == value }` and a shorthand like `collection.detect(:attribute, value)` would be quite useful

What do you think?

And I know there is `collection.detect { _1.attribute == value }` but I try not to use `_1` and this syntax would be shorter and simpler

Could also apply to other methods like `all?` (`collection.all?(:attribute, value)`), and basically any Enumerable method https://rubydoc.info/stdlib/core/Enumerable
