The debug printing method p in Ruby have been returning it's argument for years now. Dbg seems possibly better for the usecase though as you get the location as well.
For those of you who don't know Ruby, its map/filter/reduce functions chain like this:
values.map { |x| x + 2 }.select { |x| x > 3 }
So when you want to look at an intermediate result, there's the .tap() method that runs a lambda with that intermediate result, then passes it on to the next step in the chain.
[0, 1, 2, 3].map { |x| x + 2 }.tap { |x| puts x }.select { |x| x > 3 }
This returns [4, 5] after printing [2, 3, 4, 5]. ("puts" is Ruby's println.)
Took me a while to find it, but Rust's iterators have an `.inspect` method that gives you a read-only reference, so println debugging works fine. For more advanced tap-like stuff, use the `tap` crate (which allows you to write `array.tap(|xs| xs.sort())` for example, even though `sort` mutates in place and doesn't return the array).
