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
