[ruby-core:87271] [Ruby trunk Feature#14788] `Hash#keys` Could Accept a Block

Issue #14788 has been updated by Hanmac (Hans Mackowiak).


I don't like it.

From `keys {|k| k.something }` I wouldn't know what it does with the keys, if they would select or map the keys or both.

Is probably against that "least surprise" thing

Feature #14788: `Hash#keys` Could Accept a Block

----------------------------------------
Sometimes I only need to fetch *some* of the keys from a Hash. With the current `Hash#keys` implementation, this requires fetching all the keys and then selecting the ones I'm interested in. It would be nice if `Has#keys` accepted a block, and only returned the keys for which the block evaluated to true.

**Currently:**
~~~ruby
{ 1 => '1', 2 => '2', 3 => '3', 4 => '4' }.keys.select { |key| key.odd? } # => [1, 3]
~~~

**Proposed:**
~~~ruby
{ 1 => '1', 2 => '2', 3 => '3', 4 => '4' }.keys { |key| key.odd? } # => [1, 3]
~~~

The attached patch shows how `rb_hash_keys` might be modified to check for a passed block.
