Description
Proposing adding a ceiling
alias to the ceil
instance method for Numeric, Float, Integer.
Although ceil
is familiar as it's an extremely common method name in other languages, ceiling
is more readable. Several other methods exist in the standard library with aliased long and short forms. A few examples:
Numeric:
[:imaginary, :imag]
[:rectangular, :rect]
[:to_i, :to_int]
[:conjugate, :conj]
String:
[:to_str, :to_s]
Usage:
> 2.71.ceil
=> 3
> 2.71.ceiling
=> 3
> Fixnum.instance_methods.grep /ceil/
=> [:ceil, :ceiling]
