Avoid those pesky whiny nils!
send_with_default won’t complain.

"hello".send_with_default(:length, 0) # => 5
nil.send_with_default(:length, 0) # => 0
"hello".send_with_default(:index, -1, 'e') # => 1

So sending parameters is a little clunky, but I don’t reckon’ you’ll want to do that much. Here is the extension you want:

module CoreExtensions
module Object
def send_with_default(method, default, *args)
!self.nil? && self.respond_to?(method) ? self.send(*args.unshift(method)) : default
end
end
end
Object.send(:include, CoreExtensions::Object)
