Subject: [ruby-core:52011] [ruby-trunk - Feature #7796] Hash#keys should return a set


Issue #7796 has been updated by Student (Nathan Zook).


The first problem for me is that Hash is part of core while Set is part of the standard lib.  One cannot have core depend on lib.

The second problem is that hash#keys has returned an array for the entire history of Ruby.  It is far from clear to me that breaking that assumption is a good idea.

Now, Hash#key_set, defined when you do require 'set', has possibilities, if you have a use case.

In my opinion, (({Hash#keys})) should return an instance of (({Set})).
