Logic with `Enumerable#grep`

Description

Enumerable#grep is useful to filter things:

[nil, {}, [], 1, :foo, "foo"].grep(String)
# => ["foo"]
  1. Often, the condition cannot be expressed as a single object on which === is applied, but as a disjunction over === applied to multiple objects. I would like Enumerable#grep to take arbitrary number of arguments, and when they are more than one, a logical disjunction applies, just as when there are multiple comma-separated objects after when in case condition:

     [nil, {}, [], 1, :foo, "foo"].grep(String, Symbol, Array)
     # => [[], :foo, "foo"]
    
  2. Also, it often happens that I want the negation of grep. Perhaps, Enumerable#grepv (grepv comes from grep -v) can be implemented as negation of Enumerable#grep, i.e., select elements for which === returns false on any of the arguments:

     [nil, {}, [], 1, :foo, "foo"].grepv(String, Symbol, Array)
     # => [nil, {}, 1]
