Subject: [ruby-dev:50951] [Ruby master Feature#17127] Some TrueClass methods are faster if implemented in Ruby

Issue #17127 has been updated by S_H_ (Shun Hiraoka).


these method able to speeding up implemented by Ruby code.

- `TrueClass#^`
- `TrueClass#&`

benchmark:

```yaml
benchmark:
  to_s: |
    true.to_s
  inspect: |
    true.inspect
  or: |
    true | false
  xor: |
    true ^ false
  and: |
    true & false
loop_count: 1000000

```

result: 

```bash
sh@MyComputer:~/rubydev/build$ make benchmark/trueclass.yml -e COMPARE_RUBY=~/.rbenv/shims/ruby -e BENCH_RUBY=../install/bin/ruby
# Iteration per second (i/s)

|         |           -|     1.32x|
|inspect  |     68.119M|   95.079M|
|         |           -|     1.40x|
|or       |     56.598M|   62.115M|
|         |           -|     1.10x|
|xor      |     59.137M|   70.666M|
|         |           -|     1.19x|
|and      |     41.956M|   46.382M|
|         |           -|     1.11x|
```

`COMPARE_RUBY` is `ruby 2.8.0dev (2020-08-20T04:24:55Z master 6509652c13) [x86_64-linux]`. `BENCH_RUBY` is patched ruby.

Some TrueClass methods are faster if implemented in Ruby code.

like this.


```ruby
class TrueClass
  def to_s
    "true".freeze
  end
  alias_method :inspect, :to_s

  def |(bool)
    true
  end
end

```

benchmark file:
```yaml
benchmark:
  to_s: |
    true.to_s
  inspect: |
    true.inspect
  or: |
    true | false
loop_count: 1000000
```


benchmark result:

```bash
sh@MyComputer:~/rubydev/build$ make benchmark/trueclass.yml -e COMPARE_RUBY=~/.rbenv/shims/ruby -e BENCH_RUBY=../install/bin/ruby
# Iteration per second (i/s)

|         |compare-ruby|built-ruby|
|:--------|-----------:|---------:|
|to_s     |     66.001M|   91.927M|
|         |           -|     1.39x|
|inspect  |     70.464M|   97.220M|
|         |           -|     1.38x|
|or       |     61.434M|   86.484M|
|         |           -|     1.41x|
```

`COMPARE_RUBY` is `ruby 2.8.0dev (2020-08-20T04:24:55Z master 6509652c13) [x86_64-linux]`. `BENCH_RUBY` is ahead of `ruby 2.8.0dev (2020-08-20T04:24:55Z master 6509652c13) [x86_64-linux]`.

Probably,  inline method cache was able to speed up these methods.
