I released proof-of-concept gem. https://github.com/prijutme4ty/flex_coerce It makes no changes in behavior of base classes, you need to patch only your own class. But actually I didn't found any use-cases of this (e.g. physical quantities more naturally looks if there is a special quantity representing unity). I hope you'll hint me some good applications of this gem.
It's sad but #=== doesn't use coerce so this gem can't help me solve my task. So I'll soon create another gem that patches === method.

Feature #7604: Make === comparison operator ability to delegate comparison to an argument
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7604#change-37403

Author: prijutme4ty (Ilya Vorontsov)
Status: Open
Priority: Normal
Assignee: matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto)
Category: core
Target version: next minor


=begin
I propose to expand default behaviour of === operator in the following way:
Objects have additional instance method Object#reverse_comparison?(other) which is false by default in all basic classes.
Each class that overrides Object#===(other) should check whether reverse_comparison? is true or false
If it is false, behavior is not changed at all.
If it is true, comparison is delegated to === method of an argument with self as an argument. 

This technique can help in constructing RSpec-style matchers for case statement. Example:

  # usual method call
  arr = %w[cat dog rat bat]
  puts arr.end_with?(%w[dog bat])   # ==> false
  puts arr.end_with?(%w[rat bat])   # ==> true
  puts arr.end_with?(%w[bat])       # ==> true
  
  # predicate-style case
  case %w[cat dog rat bat].end_with?
  when %w[dog bat]
    puts '..., dog, bat'
  when %w[rat bat]
    puts '..., rat, bat'
  when %w[bat]
    puts '..., bat'
  else
    puts 'smth else'
  end
  # ==> ..., rat, bat

Code needed to run this is not very complex:
  class Object
    def reverse_comparison?(other)
      false
    end
    alias_method :'old===', :'==='
    def ===(other)
      (other.reverse_comparison?(self) ? (other.send 'old===',self) : (self.send 'old===',other))
    end
  end

  class Predicate
    def initialize(&block)
      @block = block
    end
    def reverse_comparison?(other)
      true
    end
    def ===(*args)
      @block.call(*args)
    end
  end

  class Array
    alias_method :'old===', :'==='
    def ===(other)
      other.reverse_comparison?(self) ? (other.send('===',self)) : (self.send('old===',other))
    end

    def end_with?(expected_elements = nil)
      return last(expected_elements.size) == expected_elements  if expected_elements
      Predicate.new{|suffix| last(suffix.size) == suffix }
    end
  end

This technique looks powerful and beautiful for me. One detail is that obj#reverse_comparison? can distinguish different types of arguments and returns true only for certain types of given object. Also this can be used to prevent double-mirroring (as shown below)

The problem is that many base classes already defined custom === operator, so each of those classes (Fixnum, Float, String, Regexp, Range etc) should be redefined in such a way to make a solution full-fledged.
Another problem is case that both objects defined reverse_comparison? to return true. In my solution Predicate#=== just ignores result of revese_comparison? which is not consistent.
Another possible way is to raise errors on double mirroring:
  def reverse_comparison?(other)
    raise 'double mirroring'  if @__mirroring_started
    @__mirroring_started = true
    return true  unless other.reverse_comparison?(self)
    false
  ensure
    remove_instance_variable :@__mirroring_started
  end

My proposal is to add reverse_comparison? method and change base classes operator === to use its result as shown above. May be it's worth also to make a class analogous to Predicate in stdlib.
