[ruby-core:42569] [ruby-trunk - Feature #4890] Enumerable#lazy

Issue #4890 has been updated by Rodrigo Rosenfeld Rosas.


Thomas, I think it only makes sense for enumerables to be lazy if you call take(n) on it.

Usually, you want all elements when calling any of those methods without explicitly marking them as lazy.

= Example
Print first 100 primes which are in form of n^2+1 

   require 'prime'
   INFINITY = 1.0 / 0
   p (1..INFINITY).lazy.map{|n| n**2+1}.select{|m| m.prime?}.take(100)

(Example taken from enumerable_lz; thanks @antimon2)

= Description

Enumerable#lazy returns an instance of Enumerable::Lazy.
This is the only method added to the existing bulit-in classes.

Lazy is a subclass of Enumerator, which includes Enumerable.
So you can call any methods of Enumerable on Lazy, except methods like
map, select, etc. are redefined as 'lazy' versions.
