To make it easier to think of those methods, here's brief outline of behaviours:
Array(object)
object
as is if it's anArray
object
responds to#to_ary
)TypeError
if coercion returned in non-Array
object
responds to#to_a
)TypeError
if coercion returned non-Array
object
into anArray
(as in:[object]
)Array.wrap(object)
object
as is if it's anArray
object
responds to#to_ary
)nil
orfalse
)object
into anArray
