[ruby-core:99731] [Ruby master Feature#15573] Permit zero step in Numeric#step and Range#step
Issue #15573 has been updated by Dan0042 (Daniel DeLorme).
What is the purpose of a zero step? I cannot understand why/how it would be used.

Feature #15573: Permit zero step in Numeric#step and Range#step

----------------------------------------
Numeric#step disallows zero in the 2nd argument, but it allows zero passed as the value of `by:` keyword argument. I confirmed that this inconsistency exists since 2.3. I want to allow zero in the 2nd argument, too.
```
>> 1.step(10, by: 0) { break }
=> nil
>> 1.step(10, 0) { break }
Traceback (most recent call last):
5: from /Users/mrkn/.rbenv/versions/2.6.0/bin/irb:23:in `<main>'
4: from /Users/mrkn/.rbenv/versions/2.6.0/bin/irb:23:in `load'

2: from (irb):5
1: from (irb):5:in `step'
ArgumentError (step can't be 0)
```
Moreover, Range#step disallows zero if a block is given. I want to relax also this restriction.
```
>> (1..10).step(0) { break }
