Subject: [ruby-core:45384] [ruby-trunk - Feature #6532][Open] More methods for Hash and Array:  Hash#has_all_keys? and family, Array#delete_at for multiple arguments


Issue #6532 has been reported by prijutme4ty (Ilya Vorontsov).

----------------------------------------
Feature #6532: More methods for Hash and Array:  Hash#has_all_keys? and family, Array#delete_at for multiple arguments
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/6532

Author: prijutme4ty (Ilya Vorontsov)
Status: Open

Target version: 


I suggest introducing Hash methods: has_all_keys?, has_any_key?, has_none_key?, has_one_key? 
to write: input.has_all_keys? %w{A C G T}
instead of: %w{A C G T}.all?{|letter| input.has_key? letter}

and to write args.has_one_key?(:input_file, :input_string, :input_from_another_source, ...) instead of obvious but verbose code with iterating through keys


Also I suggest reimplement method Array#delete_at to work with multiple keys:
def delete_at(*args)
  args.sort.reverse{|index| current_version_of_delete_at index}
end

It helps not only writing multiple deletion code faster but also prevents mistakes with deleting elements from an array in arbitrary order
