[ruby-core:36503] Fw：[ruby-dev:43586] [Ruby 1.9 - Bug #4787][Open] Integer#each_modulo(n)

Hi,

I believe I've sent the following feature request to ruby-core,
but I sent to ruby-dev by mistake.

> An example implementation in Ruby is the following code:

>  class Integer
>  def each_modulo(n)
>  raise ArgumentError, "argument must be an Integer" unless n.is_a? Integer
>  raise ArgumentError, "argument must be larger than 1" if n <= 1

>  q = self
>  while q > 0
>  q, r = q.divmod(n)
>  yield(r)
>  end
>  end
>  end
> 
>  p 133.each_modulo(3).to_a #=> [1, 2, 2, 1, 1]
> 
> The following code is an example use of the feature:
> 
>  class Integer
>  def each_thousand_separation
>  each_modulo(1000)
>  end
> 
>  def thousand_separated_string(sep=',')
>  each_thousand_separation.map(&'%03d'.method(:%)).inject{|s, n| n + sep + s }
>  end
>  end

>  p 100_000_000_200.thousand_separated_string #=> "100,000,000,200"
