Convenience methods on ArrayLiteral #16114
Description
Enumerable & co. have several convenience methods which make it a joy to work with. For example #max and #max_of (and the #min equivalents). These are really trivial to implement, but it's so nice to have them because they tell clearly what's happening.
In the macro language we're missing many of those methods on ArrayLiteral. It would be nice to have them there as well.
The workarounds you have to employ currently are quite ugly compared to the beauty of Crystal.
Example: #15927 (comment)
Now we certainly should not mirror the entire stdlib collection API in macro land. The macro language is intentionally limited because it has fewer use cases.
But some more convenience features would be very helpful. Finding the maximum or minimum value seems a very reasonable use case for macros, for example.
