Hello!

I was creating a list of class instances via `some_list.map { |e| SomeClass.new(e) }` and wondered if there's a `Class#to_proc` to make possible doing `some_list.map(&SomeClass)`.
Well, there is not.

Basically, this is what I suggest:

```
class Class
  def to_proc
    proc { |*args| self.new(*args) }
  end
end

class Dog
  attr_reader :name

  def initialize(name)
    @name = name
  end
end

names = %w[Lucky Pluto Balto]
names.map(&Dog) # map names to dogs
```
