[ruby-core:98896] [Ruby master Feature#16972] Pathname#mkpath to accept block to call on each created directory

Issue #16972 has been updated by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada).

Status changed from Open to Assigned
Description updated

`Pathname#mkpath` is a wrapper of `FileUtils.mkdir_p`, and the latter has `mode:` argument to create intermediate directories.
So it would be simple and better to add the same option to `Pathname#mkpath` for this purpose, I think.
Or do you have any other use cases that this more generic solution is needed?

----------------------------------------
I just had a case where I need to set the permissions on each directory created by `Pathname#mkpath`, but since this requires to know which directories are created I had to reimplement the `mkpath` logic like this:

```ruby
file = Pathname.new(Dir.pwd) + "a/b/c/d/e/foo.txt"  #any of these directories may already exist

file.dirname.ascend.take_while{ |d| !d.exist? }.reverse_each do |dir|
  dir.mkdir
  dir.chmod(0775) #rwxrwxr-x
end
```

It occured to me it would be very elegant if `mkpath` allowed this

```ruby
file.dirname.mkpath{ |dir| dir.chmod(0775) }
```
