I guess this should say:

In Ruby, it is not a good idea to propose something *only* because of 
consistency.

Consistency is good, but (as possibly in this proposal) adding a method 
just for consistency, without demonstrating an actual need, isn't Ruby 
style. So please show some strong uses cases for this method.
