Feature #14128: Introduce Hash#delete default value

• Status: Assigned
• Assignee: matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto)
• Target version: -

[gshutler (Garry Shutler)]

Mirror Hash#fetch(key [, default]) → obj with Hash#delete(key [, default]) → obj.

Allows for more concise extraction of a value from a hash with a default.

# Currently
a = hash.delete(:a) { 10 }

# Becomes
a = hash.delete(:a, 10)

I think this should be filed under features rather than bugs.

Here is a link to the documentation if anyone else wants to have
a look:

https://ruby-doc.org/core/Hash.html#method-i-delete

I am neither pro or con on the suggestion so I will not
comment on it - I only wanted to provide a quick link to
the docu so that others can find the most recent docu +
examples more easily.

Sorry, I thought I was recording it as a feature request. Thanks for fixing nobu.
