Subject: [ruby-core:108050] [Ruby master Feature#18179] Add Math methods to Numeric

Issue #18179 has been updated by Hanmac (Hans Mackowiak).


For the Complex Problem, maybe add an optional parameter like `:raise_on_complex` or something so when you try:

`(-2).sqrt` it returns complex,
but `(-2).sqrt(raise_on_complex: true)` makes the old Exception?

Hi, I wanted to get thoughts on adding class methods from `Math` as instance methods on `Numeric`.

```ruby
x.sqrt # vs Math.sqrt(x)
x.log  # vs Math.log(x)
```

Rust takes this approach and it (subjectively) feels more intuitive/object-oriented. It also seems more consistent with methods like `x.abs`.
