[ruby-core:75572] [Ruby trunk Feature#12263] Feature request: &&. operator (shorthand for foo && foo.method)

Issue #12263 has been updated by Daniel Ferreira.


I add the following scenario:

~~~ ruby
class Foo
  def self.bar(baz)
      baz&&.(:qux)
  end
end

::Foo.bar(1)
# => 1
~~~

Meaning if default is not passed returns object.

----------------------------------------
Ruby 2.3 introduced the `&.` safe-navigation operator. I'd like to propose a `&&.` operator which would be shorthand for:

~~~ruby
foo && foo.method
~~~

Unlike `&.`, this does not continue the chain if the variable evaluates to `false`. This would give the following result:

~~~ruby
false&.class       # => FalseClass
false&&.class      # => false

false&.inexisting  # => raises NoMethodError
false&&.inexisting # => false
~~~
