Subject: [ruby-core:68013] [CommonRuby - Feature #10829] [Open] Add to_proc method to the Array class

Issue #10829 has been reported by Ben Morgan.

----------------------------------------
Feature #10829: Add to_proc method to the Array class
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/10829

----------------------------------------
In ruby, we've all seen this shortcut:

```ruby
user.posts.map(&:title)
```

The expanded version is:

```ruby
user.posts.map { |post| post.title }
```

Sometimes, however, that method might take arguments. This feature proposal is to allow the `to_proc` shortcut to be able to respond to the `Array` class. This would allow developers to be able to use the shortcut to be able to pass in arguments. This can currently be done by reopening the `Array` class and supplying it with a `to_proc` method:

```ruby
class Array
  def to_proc
    proc { |receiver| receiver.send *self }
  end
end
```

This would allow this code to be able to run:

```ruby
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5].map([:+, 3])
# => [4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
```
