I just came across a situation where it would be extremely handy to
have a method that returns the receiver.

Imagine the following example:

filter = %w(with_votes without_votes).include?(params[:filter]) ?
params[:filter].to_sym : :self
Idea.published.send(filter).all

The implementation would be pretty simple:

class Object
  def self
    self
  end
end

Should this be a part of Rails?
