Subject: [ruby-core:46395] [ruby-trunk - Feature #6727] Add Array#rest (with implementation)


Issue #6727 has been updated by trans (Thomas Sawyer).


Rather then haphazard method additions in this area I still think a better approach would be a common mixin.

http://rdoc.info/github/rubyworks/facets/master/Indexable

It's like Enumerable, but for a different set of functionality. Depending only on a minimal set of methods to facilitate the rest creates a more robust and flexible system. Call it "Occam's Principle of Interfaces" (though the principle probably already has another name?)

I run into many instances where I end up using (({arr[1..-1]})), so I decided to add (({arr.rest})) to make that a bit less hideous.
