Description

Currently there is a concat method in ruby which does the same as +, but modifying the object. We could introduce a union and difference methods, which would be the equivalent for the | and - operators. This operators are normally less used due to lack of readability and expressivity. You end seeing thinks like:

array.concat(array2).uniq!

just because it is more readable. When it could be written like:

array |= array2

But, as this is not clear for some people, the new method will solve this problem:

array.union(array2)

And now this is clean and readable, as everybody expect from Ruby, the language focused on simplicity and productivity. ;)

Can I send a PR? :)
