----------------------------------------
Bug #11520: Inconsistent behavior in Array#compact!
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/11520
* Author: Hal Brodigan
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee:
* ruby -v: ruby 2.2.2p95 (2015-04-13 revision 50295) [x86_64-linux]
* Backport: 2.0.0: UNKNOWN, 2.1: UNKNOWN, 2.2: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
I noticed that `Array#compact!` sometimes returns `self` and other times `nil`. This behavior was a bit confusing.
[].compact!
# => nil
[1].compact!
# => nil
[nil].compact!
# => []
[1, nil].compact!
# => [1]
I would prefer that `Array#compact!` either always returns `nil`, or always returns `self`.
