Ok, it would be actually `ary.map(&:dig.to_proc(:id))`.

But that is not the important thing.

The core is just the ability to make "to_proc" useful for symbols of methods that require an argument.

Currently, there is no use of `dig.to_proc`, but if we allow the parameter, then all those symbols will benefit better from `to_proc`.

Here is a proof of concept:

```ruby
class Symbol
  def to_proc(extra=nil)
    ->(obj) { obj.public_send(self, *extra) }
  end
end

dig_id = :dig.to_proc(:id)

h = {id: 1, v: 10}
dig_id[h] # 1

ary = [{id: 1, v: 10}, {id: 2, v:34}]
ary.map(&dig_id) # [1, 2]
```

Feature #16667: Allow parameters to Symbol#to_proc and Method#to_proc

* Author: jgomo3 (Jes俍 Gez)
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal
----------------------------------------
Allow parameters to Symbol#to_proc and Method#to_proc

So we can say:

``` ruby
ary.map(:dig.to_proc(:id))
```


Instead of

``` ruby
ary.map { |e| e.dig(:id) }
```


Oppening the posibilities to refine the `&` operator in the future, for something like:


``` ruby
ary.map(&(:dig, :id))
```
