Subject: [ruby-dev:49313] [Ruby trunk - Bug #11618] Safe call syntax with	aref or aset is

Issue #11618 has been updated by Yukihiro Matsumoto.


I am not going to add safe navigation for aref and aset.
Maybe you can use `a.?[](x)` (method call of an operator).

Matz.

Bug #11618: Safe call syntax with aref or aset is 
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/11618#change-54559

* Backport: 2.0.0: UNKNOWN, 2.1: UNKNOWN, 2.2: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
This test pass

```ruby
# ruby -v: ruby 2.3.0dev (2015-10-24 trunk 52128) [x86_64-darwin14]
# test/ruby/test_call.rb

  def test_safe_call_aref_aset
    s = Struct.new(:x, :y)
    o = s.new({a: 10})

    assert_equal(10, o.x.?send(:[], :a))
    o.x.?send(:[]=, :a, 11)
    assert_equal(11, o.x.?send(:[], :a))

    assert_nil(o.y.?send(:[], :a))
    o.y.?send(:[]=, :a, 11)
    assert_nil(o.y.?send(:[], :a))
  end
```

This is invalid syntax

```ruby
# ruby -v: ruby 2.3.0dev (2015-10-24 trunk 52128) [x86_64-darwin14]
# test/ruby/test_call.rb

  def test_safe_call_aref_aset
    s = Struct.new(:x, :y)
    o = s.new({a: 10})

    assert_equal(10, o.x.?[:a])
    o.x.?[:a] = 11
    assert_equal(11, o.x.?[:a])

    assert_nil(o.y.?[:a])
    o.y.?[:a] = 11
    assert_nil(o.y.?[:a])
 end
```
