[ruby-core:93495] [Ruby master Feature#15975] Add Array#pluck

Issue #15975 has been updated by shevegen (Robert A. Heiler).


Hmm. I don't doubt that this may possibly be useful, but the method name is
a bit ... weird. My first association with this name, oddly enough, is to
associate duck typing with it, and then to "pluck the duck" (yes, strange
association but I could not help it ...).

I do not have a better alternative suggestion for a name, though. It
reminds me a little bit of a more flexible variant of .dig(), though.

While developing web applications I've often wanted to quickly extract an array of values from an array of hashes.

With an array of objects, this is possible:

```rb
irb(main):001:0> require 'ostruct'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> [OpenStruct.new(name: "Lewis")].map(&:name)
=> ["Lewis"]
```

This PR adds Array#pluck allowing this:

```rb
irb(main):001:0> [ {name: "Lewis"} ].pluck(:name)
=> ["Lewis"]
```

without this PR:

```rb
irb(main):001:0> [ {name: "Lewis"} ].map { |item| item[:name] }
=> ["Lewis"]
```

Implemented here:
