The canonical Array difference example in Ruby is:
[ 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5 ] - [ 1, 2, 4 ] #=> [ 3, 3, 5 ]
What's the best way to get the following behavior instead?
[ 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5 ].subtract_once([ 1, 2, 4 ]) #=> [ 1, 2, 3, 3, 5 ]
That is, only the first instance of each matching item in the second array is removed from the first array.
