Subject: a few thoughts for ruby...

Thought I'd pass these thoughts by the readers here before sending them
to core.  They're my current wish list :)

1) add an Object#in? method to complement the existing Array#include?

2) add some useful lists of exceptions, ex: IO.SELECT_EXCEPTIONS,
IO.READ_EXCEPTIONS, so that you can rescue the wide gamut of them
appropriately, should you desire to.

3) provide an easier way to know which platform you're on than
RUBY_PLATFORM =~ /mswin32|dgjpp|mingw/

4) (this one's controversial) remove the extra # for code in strings
(i.e. "string#{code}") -> "string{code}" less typing.

5) add a BigDecimal(float) method.
 -> BigDecimal.new("%f" % float)

6) add Dir.directory?
 -> File.directory?

Feedback?
Thanks!
