Feature #11537: Introduce "Safe navigation operator"
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/11537
* Author: Hiroshi SHIBATA
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: Yukihiro Matsumoto
----------------------------------------
I somtimes write following code with rails application:
```rb
u = User.find(id)
if u && u.profile && u.profile.thumbnails && u.profiles.thumbnails.large
...
```
or
```rb
# Use ActiveSupport
if u.try!(:profile).try!(:thumbnails).try!(:large)
...
```
I hope to write shortly above code. Groovy has above operator named "Safe navigation operator" with "?." syntax.
Ruby can't use "?." operator.
Can we use ".?" syntax. like this:
```rb
u = User.find(id)
u.?profile.?thumbnails.?large
```
Matz. How do you think about this?
