As grep using the case statement you are missing a lot of cases that would =
be handy:

array.invert_grep(Array) # Select all elements that are not arrays.

Feature #11049: Enumerable#grep_v (inversed grep)

----------------------------------------
sometime I want to do `grep -v` like operation:

    %w(aaa bbb ccc).reject { |x| /b/ =3D=3D=3D x } #=3D> ["aaa", "ccc"]

We already have Enumerable#grep, so I propose to add Enumerable#grep_v.

    %w(aaa bbb ccc).grep(/b/) #=3D> ["bbb"]
    %w(aaa bbb ccc).grep_v(/b/) #=3D> ["aaa", "ccc"]

## Naming / Interface

This idea is mentioned at DevelopersMeeting20150408Japan by me. Matz has sa=
id "I don't disagree for the feature. So this remains naming (interface) pr=
oblem."

I'm not sure grep_v is the best name for this feature; feedback are welcome=
d.

### Ideas

- `grep_v(pattern)` (the first patch)
- `grep(pattern, inverse: true)`
- `grep!(pattern)`
