[ruby-core:94643] [Ruby master Feature#15588] String#each_chunk and #chunks

[usa@garbagecollect.jp]

Issue #15588 has been updated by usa (Usaku NAKAMURA).


Just an idea, this method may be useful to treat data of fixed-length record format if it accepts multi column lengths, such as

```ruby
records = []
fixed_length_records_data.each_slice(7, 10, 20) do |zip, tel, name|
  records.push({zip: zip, tel: tel, name: name})
end
```

Feature #15588: String#each_chunk and #chunks

----------------------------------------
String#each_chunk iterates chunks of specified size in String.
String#chunks is a shorthand for str.each_chunk(n).to_a.

present:
```ruby
str = <<EOS
20190101 20190102
20190103 20190104
EOS

str.scan(/.{1,9}/m) do |chunk|
  p chunk #=> "20190101 "
end

str.scan(/.{1,9}/m) do |chunk|
  chunk.strip!
  p chunk #=> "20190101"
end

str.scan(/.{1,9}/m) #=> ["20190101 ", "20190102\n", "20190103 ", "20190104\n"]
str.scan(/.{1,9}/m).map(&:strip) #=> ["20190101", "20190102", "20190103", "20190104"]
```

proposal:
```ruby
str = <<EOS
20190101 20190102
20190103 20190104
EOS

str.each_chunk(9) do |chunk|
  p chunk #=> "20190101 "
end

str.each_chunk(9, strip: true) do |chunk|
  p chunk #=> "20190101"
end

str.chunks(9) #=> ["20190101 ", "20190102\n", "20190103 ", "20190104\n"]
str.chunks(9, strip: true) #=> ["20190101", "20190102", "20190103", "20190104"]
```
