But if Enumerator#next required you to implement to_enum, people
writing new collections could opt into cursor-based enumeration in a
more cross-compatible way. Ideally a custom to_enum impl would return
a lightweight enumerator with a simple position, but a library author
could implement it in other ways that don't require fibers or threads.
