Yeah, that's pretty much the same thing as my pseudo-code if you let
generator = (0...self) which, given the special implementation of
Fixnum ranges, is probably the best solution. Note that it Matz
probably did do it in Fixnum, not Numeric (How would you do something
Math::PI.times? :) or Integer.
