There _is_ _no_ useful part in this proposal. Its only effect is an
endless discussion between people, who embrace Ruby and love it for
its clever quirks, and people who begrudge them their innocent joy.

Numeric#zero? returns true or false, while Numeric#nonzero? returns self or nil.

I've written a patch that fixes this inconsistency and adds a Numeric#nonzero (non-predicate) method that returns self or nil for chaining comparisons. I'd like for this to be included in Ruby 2.1.0.
