Yes, I suppose that is surprising too...  But, I think that throwing away `false` values is still a footgun.  If I write:
```ruby
records.filter_map{|record| record.send(field) if record.valid? }
```
I would expect to get a value for every valid record, no matter what `field` is.

Should the name of `filter_map` be reconsidered?

Feature #15323: [PATCH] Proposal: Add Enumerable#filter_map

----------------------------------------
This is a proposal for a combined `filter` + `map` method (https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/5663).

This method both filters and maps the elements of an enumerable in just one iteration:

~~~ ruby
(1..10).filter_map { |i| i * 2 if i.even? } #=> [4, 8, 12, 16, 20]
~~~
