[ruby-core:70649] Re: the undefined behavior of an iterator if it is modified inside of the block to which it yields

I completely agree. Behavior of iterators is always defined on some
specific type, not in general. I am not proposing to define how &:each
behaves for everyone, I propose Ruby defines the iterator behavior in this
case on all its core classes, the implementors of other iterators can
define their own if they like, just like they would do today.

The real world works the same way. The escalator behavior is defined, but
not one of all hypothetical stairways.
