Alias of #select!

With a block given, calls the block with each entry’s key and value; removes from self each entry for which the block returns false or nil.

Returns self if any entries were removed, nil otherwise:

Example

h = {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2}
h.select! {|key, value| value < 2 } # => {foo: 0, bar: 1}
h.select! {|key, value| value < 2 } # => nil

With no block given, returns a new Enumerator.
