Subject: [ruby-core:65616] [ruby-trunk - Feature #10365] [Rejected] `Rational#to_a` and `Array#to_r`

Issue #10365 has been updated by Yukihiro Matsumoto.

Status changed from Open to Rejected

And without having Rational#to_a, Array#to_r does not mean much.
So I reject this.

Feature #10365: `Rational#to_a` and `Array#to_r`

----------------------------------------
I guess people would want to extract the numerator and the denominator of an array. `to_a` would perhaps be a good name:

    (2/51).to_a # => [2, 51]

It also might be useful if `Array#to_r` were provided as an alternative way to create a rational from an array:

    [4, 6].to_r #=> (2/3)

This would be equivalent to `Rational(*[4, 6])`.
