Yes, of course, but it still remains confusing and not consistent at first sight.
Also, semantics are not very clear, why last instead of first if multiple by key?

I do agree Hash construction from Enumerable is something to work on,
but this name is definitely not the best, neither are the semantics.

Feature #8490: Bring ActiveSupport Enumerable#index_by to core
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/8490#change-39726

Author: rosenfeld (Rodrigo Rosenfeld Rosas)
Status: Rejected
Priority: Normal
Assignee: matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto)
Category: core
Target version: 


It seems to be a common sense to have the useful implementation of Enumerable#index_by as in ActiveSupport.

index_by acts like group_by but only maps a single record, instead of an array, keeping the last match only. It's usually used in places where you shouldn't have more than a single match for each key.

Would you consider its inclusion to core Enumerable module?
