optional Array/Set extension to allow casting all members of a collection

[saturnflyer]

Definitely a consideration. I've run into this need.

This commit is a quick spike for the idea, very simple use case. The test is ad-hoc. Unless you have any comments I'll close for now and submit a proper PR if you think it might be useful.

Finally getting back to this. Looks good. Thanks!

I'm wondering about this being lazy or being able to cast/uncast with a block.

cast_map(SomeModule) do |item|
  # whatever here
end

That could tie in to Casting.delegating. Or is that sufficient?

Perhaps we could roll in cast_members_as for now and consider those alternatives later.

[krisleech]

A proper PR for cast_members_as would be a good starting point.

I don't specifically have the need for lazy casting but I like the idea and would be happy to look in to it. I feel this would ultimately fit casting well. Would expect the collection members to be uncast after the cast_map block had yielded?

ping :)

@gregory I didn't currently do any further work on this. Would you like to take this forward or shall I close this issue for now?

[saturnflyer]

I'd love to have more feedback on this @gregory

[gregory]

No need for now, i was just wondering since this is the first thing that came to my mind when i saw casting :)
Using DelegateClass for now. might consider to use casting pretty soon. i'll then get back to you guys.
@krisleech feel free to close, we could still reopen in the futur.

It's been a long time but I think this might be solved by https://github.com/saturnflyer/casting/blob/297699ee9f58fa4a4c00fc89e442b700d9459e55/lib/casting/enum.rb

Closing but please reopen if that doesn't do it.
