[ruby-core:120756] [Ruby master Feature#21082] Alias it to its

Issue #21082 has been updated by northeastprince (Matt Almeida).


Hey Martin! Thanks for your input.

It seems like there's a very small amount of core method names that would have such a level of linguistic dissonance based on the receiver. However, even something like `ledger.include? transaction` seems more adaptive than `it.title`, though that might just be me.

Happy to let `it` sit for a while before any changes are considered 😆.

One of Ruby's core tenants is beautiful code - and a key part of that is sweating the names. Adding `it` as a pointer to the first block parameter was a huge step forward in that regard, but we're not done yet. If `[1, 2, 3].each { puts it }` works, `posts.each { puts its.title }` should work too.
