I'm not in favor with this proposal, because of its name mainly. 'Array X is part of array Y' sounds like 'all elements in X are arranged in Y successively in the same order', to me. If the order is not your concern, why it isn't a method of Set? Also, Array#& isn't necessary here. (ary1 - ary2).empty? would work enough. ---------------------------------------- Feature #6515: array.c: added method that verifies if an Array is part of another https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/6515#change-26919 Author: lellisga (Li Ellis Galardo) Status: Assigned Priority: Normal Assignee: matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto) Category: Target version: 2.0.0 This method is like the include? method but instead of receiving a value and check if the array has it, it receives an array an check if it's part of another one. https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/127 -- http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
