I see absolutely no reason not to make every last shred of  
documentation available to the users of Ruby.  I say we document,  
document, document until there is no library left to cover.

Enumerator is a handy tool, soon to be a part of the core.  Why would

If that line of thinking is wrong, I don't want to be right!  Call me
