Or maybe we can think it as a combination of `dig` with `fetch`. Then what about `dig_fetch` or `fetch_dig`? These names don't look very natural, but it's easy to understand what they are about.

Feature #14602: Version of dig that raises error if a key is not present

Currently, if I have a hash like this:
~~~ ruby
{
:name => {
:first => "Ariel",
:last => "Caplan"
}
}
~~~
and I want to navigate confidently and raise a KeyError if something is missing, I can do:
~~~ ruby
hash.fetch(:name).fetch(:first)
~~~
Unfortunately, the length of the name, combined with the need to repeat the method name every time, means most programmers are more likely to do this:
~~~ ruby
hash[:name][:first]
~~~
which leads to many unexpected errors.
The Hash#dig method made it easy to access methods safely from a nested hash; I'd like to have something similar for access without error protection, and I'd think the most natural name would be Hash#dig!. It would work like this:
~~~ ruby
hash = {
:name => {
:first => "Ariel",
:last => "Caplan"
}
}
hash.dig!(:name, :first) # => Ariel
hash.dig!(:name, :middle) # raises KeyError (key not found: :middle)
hash.dig!(:name, :first, :foo) # raises TypeError (String does not have #dig! method)
~~~
