Yields self to the block, and then returns self.

The primary purpose of this method is to "tap into" a method chain, in order to perform operations on intermediate results within the chain.

(1..10).tap { |x| puts "original: #{x.inspect}" }
  .to_a.tap { |x| puts "array: #{x.inspect}" }
  .select { |x| x % 2 == 0 }.tap { |x| puts "evens: #{x.inspect}" }
  .map { |x| x*x }.tap { |x| puts "squares: #{x.inspect}" }
