Subject: [ruby-core:33626] Re: Why is SyncEnumerator in REXML?

I don't really care about REXML but I've seen several people who felt the need to use SyncEnumerator. 

Would your preference be to direct them to manually iterate each of the enumerators or create their own convenience class? Seems easy enough, but given that SyncEnumerator is there it made sense to me to leave it and move it into the main extension branch.
