Array#delete, but return the array?

If you want to mutate the original array, like delete, here are options:

ary.reject!{|e| e==42 }.something_else
ary.tap{|a| a.delete 42}.something_else
(ary.delete 42;ary).something_else
(ary-=[42]).something_else

If you want a new array to chain from:

ary.reject{|e| e==42 }.something_else
(ary-[42]).something_else

array.reject{|element| element == value_of_element_to_be_deleted}

an_ary.-([el]) looks awful.

What about...

an_ary - [el]

The most natural way of dealing with mathematical operations is this...

4 - 2

Not this...

4.-(2)
