ruby Elegantly wrap an array of items each into an object -

given:

class thing   def initialize(object)     @object = object      end end  items = [1,2,3]

i'd know of more elegant way convert each item thing this:

items.map{ |item| thing.new item } # => [<thing @object=1>, <thing @object=2>, <thing @object=3>]

you can use unary prefix & operator:

items.map(&thing.method(:new))

items.map(&thing)

however, there doesn't seem interest in proposal. can monkey-patch yourself, though, implementation trivial:

class class   def to_proc     method(:new).to_proc   end end
