What do you think of other implicit conversions such as to_a called by the splat operator.

Feature #9451: Refinements and unary & (to_proc)

Not sure if this is a bug or feature request:

    require 'minitest/autorun'
    require 'set'
    
    module ClassToProc
      refine Class do
        def to_proc
          lambda{ |*args| self.new(*args) }
        end
      end
    end
    
    using ClassToProc
    
    describe 'Class#to_proc' do
      it 'works when called directly' do
        Set.to_proc[[1,2]].must_equal Set[1,2]
      end
    
      it 'fails when called via ampersand' do
        [[1,2]].map(&Set).must_equal [Set[1,2]]
      end
    end

The second example errors with *NoMethodError: super: no superclass method `to_proc' for Set:Class*

Would be great to have it, though.
