Subject: [ruby-core:72133] [Ruby trunk - Feature #11818] [Open]	`Hash#compact`

Issue #11818 has been reported by Tsuyoshi Sawada.

----------------------------------------
Feature #11818: `Hash#compact`
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/11818

* Author: Tsuyoshi Sawada

----------------------------------------
I request `Hash#compact` and `Hash#compact!` that remove the key-value pairs whose value is `nil`, as follows:

    h1 = {a:, 1, b: nil, c: 2}
    h1.compact # => {a: 1, c: 2}
    h1 # => {a: 1, b: nil, c: 2}

    h2 = {a:, 1, b: nil, c: 2}
    h2.compact! # => {a: 1, c: 2}
    h2 # => {a: 1, c: 2}

    h3 = {a:, 1, c: 2}
    h3.compact! # => nil
    h3 # => {a: 1, c: 2}

I believe people have frequent need to do this.
