Feature #5554: A method that applies self to a Proc if self is a Symbol

Often, you want to apply a Proc to self if self is a Symbol, but not do anything if otherwise. In this case, something I call Object#desymbolize may be convenient:

    proc = ->sym{
        case sym
        when :small_icon  then "16pt"
        when :medium_icon then "32pt"
        when :large_icon  then "64pt"
        end
    }
    :small_icon.desymbolize(&proc) => "16pt"
    "18pt".desymbolize(&proc) => "18pt"

An implementation may be as follows:

class Object
	def desymbolize; self end
end
class Symbol
	def desymbolize &pr; pr.call(self) end
end
