Description
For example, Range is currently missing the minmax method that was added in Ruby 2.7.
Is there any way to find methods that aren't represented in the ruby-signature type library, and if not should we create some way of doing that? Having a way of tracking 'type coverage' for the Ruby core and stdlib classes would probably be pretty useful.

Research direction
Start with stdlib/builtin/range.rbs and compare its Range methods with the Ruby 2.7 change linked in the issue, including the missing minmax method. Done would be a defined way to identify methods absent from the Ruby core and stdlib signatures, plus a clear decision on whether and how to track type coverage.
