### `duplicable?`
-In Ruby 2.4 most objects can be duplicated via `dup` or `clone` except
-methods and certain numbers. Though Ruby 2.2 and 2.3 can't duplicate `nil`,
-`false`, `true`, and symbols as well as instances `Float`, `Fixnum`,
-and `Bignum` instances.
+As of Ruby 2.5, most objects can be duplicated via `dup` or `clone`:
```ruby
"foo".dup # => "foo"
"".dup # => ""

-Complex(0).dup # => TypeError: can't copy Complex
+Rational(1).dup # => (1/1)
+Complex(0).dup # => (0+0i)
+1.method(:+).dup # => TypeError (allocator undefined for Method)

-`duplicable?` matches Ruby's `dup` according to the Ruby version.

-So in 2.4:
+`duplicable?` matches the current Ruby version's `dup` behavior,
+so results will vary according the version of Ruby you're using.
+In Ruby 2.4, for example, Complex and Rational are not duplicable:
```ruby
-nil.dup # => nil
-:my_symbol.dup # => :my_symbol
-1.dup # => 1
-
-nil.duplicable? # => true
-:my_symbol.duplicable? # => true
-1.duplicable? # => true
-```

-Whereas in 2.2 and 2.3:
-
-```ruby
-nil.dup # => TypeError: can't dup NilClass
-:my_symbol.dup # => TypeError: can't dup Symbol
-1.dup # => TypeError: can't dup Fixnum
-
-nil.duplicable? # => false
-:my_symbol.duplicable? # => false
-1.duplicable? # => false
+Rational(1).duplicable? # => false
+Complex(1).duplicable? # => false
```
WARNING: Any class can disallow duplication by removing `dup` and `clone` or raising exceptions from them. Thus only `rescue` can tell whether a given arbitrary object is duplicable. `duplicable?` depends on the hard-coded list above, but it is much faster than `rescue`. Use it only if you know the hard-coded list is enough in your use case.

Generation of both methods can be prevented by setting `:instance_accessor` to `false`. In all cases, the value must be exactly `false` and not any false value.

-#### `transform_values` && `transform_values!`

-The method `transform_values` accepts a block and returns a hash that has applied the block operations to each of the values in the receiver.

-{ nil => nil, 1 => 1, :x => :a }.transform_values { |value| value.to_s.upcase }

-Rails implements `Regexp#match?` for Ruby versions prior to 2.4:
-
-```ruby
-/oo/.match?('foo') # => true
-/oo/.match?('bar') # => false
-/oo/.match?('foo', 1) # => true

-Active Support defines `Regexp#match?` only if not present, so code running
-under 2.4 or later does run the original one and gets the performance boost.
