Subject: [ruby-core:66817] [ruby-trunk - Bug #10594] Numeric#clamp

Issue #10594 has been updated by Chris Johnson.


Example behavior:

~~~

234234234523.clamp(0..100)  # => 100
12.clamp(0..100)            # => 12  
-38817112.clamp(0..100)     # => 0

~~~

* Backport: 2.0.0: UNKNOWN, 2.1: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
This is basically a re-opening of the feature request of issue#4573 (https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/4574), which was closed due a naming debate.

It seems the standard naming for restricting a number to a specified range is indeed 'clamp'.  (1)(2)(3)

As such, can we use Yusuke Endoh's original patch with the naming adjustments?  If so, I can provide accordingly.

Cheers.
