I prefer not adding this alias. I understand that it is beneficial for people familiar with other languages that have a "filter" function like this, but I believe "filter" is confusing for people without that familiarity.
The word "filter" implies a separation, but does not convey which part we are "keeping" like "select" and "reject" do. When I mentioned this ticket to my coworker, his initial reaction was that "filter" would be an alias for "reject".

Feature #13784: Add Enumerable#filter as an alias of Enumerable#select

----------------------------------------
Ruby has a full set of functional tools in the Enumerable module under the "-ect" methods (viz. collect, select, inject). However the usual industry terms for these are map, filter, and reduce.
For example, Swift, Python, and ECMAScript all use the names map, filter, and reduce to describe these methods. Also, this language independent MIT course uses map, filter and reduce: http://web.mit.edu/6.005/www/fa15/classes/25-map-filter-reduce/
Ruby has aliases for map and reduce, but filter is noticeably absent. This feature request is simply to add an alias to Enumerable for filter. This will ease the transition of developers from other languages to Ruby.
Desired behavior:
[:foo, :bar].filter { |x| x == :foo } # => [:foo]
Current behavior:
[:foo, :bar].filter { |x| x == :foo } # NoMethodError: undefined method `filter'
