Provides a collection of refinements to the standard Ruby objects.

# Features

- Adds the following Array refinements:
    - Array#compress - Removes nil and empty values without modifying original values.
    - Array#compress! - Removes nil and empty values and modifies original values.
- Adds the following BigDecimal refinements:
    - BigDecimal#inspect - Allows one to inspect a big decimal with numeric representation.

# Requirements

0. [MRI 2.x.x](http://www.ruby-lang.org).

# Setup

For a secure install, type the following from the command line (recommended):

    gem cert --add <(curl -Ls http://www.my-website.com/gem-public.pem)
    gem install refinements --trust-policy MediumSecurity

NOTE: A HighSecurity trust policy would be best but MediumSecurity enables signed gem verification while
allowing the installation of unsigned dependencies since they are beyond the scope of this gem.

For an insecure install, type the following (not recommended):

    gem install refinements

# Usage

## Array

    using Refinements::ArrayExtensions

    example = ["An", nil, "", "Example"]
    example.compress # => ["An", "Example"]
    example # => ["An", nil, "", "Example"]

    example = ["An", nil, "", "Example"]
    example.compress! # => ["An", "Example"]
    example # => ["An", "Example"]

## Big Decimal

    using Refinements::BigDecimalExtensions

    big = BigDecimal.new "5.0E-10"
    big.inspect # => "#<BigDecimal:3fd3d458fe84 0.0000000005>"

# Tests

To test, run:

    bundle exec rspec spec
