[ruby-core:94673] [Ruby master Feature#15955] UnboundMethod#apply

Issue #15955 has been updated by mame (Yusuke Endoh).


Matz approved the feature.  The name "apply" was arguable in some terms:

* We may want to use the name "apply" for other purpose in future.
* This API will be used not so frequently.  Only some fundamental libraries (like pp, sorbet-runtime, zeitwerk, etc.) will use it.

I proposed `UnboundMethod#bind_call` at the developers' meeting, and matz liked it.  I'll commit it soon.

----------------------------------------
I'd love a way to apply an UnboundMethod to a receiver and list of args without having to first `bind` it. I've ended up using `UnboundMethod`s in some hot paths in my application due to our metaprogramming idioms, and the allocation from `.bind` is comparatively expensive.

I'd love `unbound_method.apply(obj, args…)` to be equivalent to `unbound_method.bind(obj).call(args…)` but without allocating the intermediate `Method`
