Combinatory method like tap, but able to return a different value?

Question

I\'m going through a phase of trying to avoid temporary variables and over-use of conditional where I can use a more fluid style of coding. I\'ve taken a great liking to us

def best_nice_method
  something_complex(a, b, c).tap |obj|

  end
end
