Subject: [ruby-core:97861] [Ruby master Feature#16781] alias :fold :reduce

Issue #16781 has been reported by 0x81000000 (0x81000000 0x81000000).

----------------------------------------
Feature #16781: alias :fold :reduce
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/16781

* Author: 0x81000000 (0x81000000 0x81000000)
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal
----------------------------------------
1. Method "collect" has short synonym "map", short synonym of "inject" and "reduce" doesn't exist.
2. Name "fold" is more common/popular than "reduce" or "inject".

In my own code I use:
``` 
module Enumerable
   alias :fold :reduce
end
```
I have no idea how to properly add "fold" in Ruby's stdlib/corelib.
