You saved my day, I was really disappointed when I found that this code  wa=
s
missing from ruby

def TrueClass.=3D=3D=3D(other);other?true:false;end
def FalseClass.=3D=3D=3D(other);! true =3D=3D=3D other; end ### That 1 is u=
gly
def NilClass.=3D=3D=3D(other);! true =3D=3D=3D other; end

shall we make a CR or for Ruby2?

Completely agree and if anyone uses an if statement why should we!!!!!

But I guess it is up to everyone to "fix" ruby for his own needs.
