Bug #13913: Method definition with explicitly callable method names
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/13913

* Author: tagomoris (Satoshi TAGOMORI)
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal

* ruby -v: 
* Backport: 2.2: UNKNOWN, 2.3: UNKNOWN, 2.4: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
There are many cases to expect that arguments should respond to a/some methods like this:

```ruby
def call_foo(arg)
  if !(arg.respond_to(:to_s) and arg.respond_to(:to_a) and arg.respond_to(:readpartial))
    raise ArgumentError, "interface mismatch"
  end
end
```

This is very frequent pattern, and I'm very happy to write this code in very short lines like this:

```ruby
def call_foo(arg|to_s,to_a,readpartial)
  # ...
end
```

This feature looks very useful and have space to analyze statically and to optimize dynamically.
And, there may be possibility to allow to have method overriding.

What do you think about this idea?
