Subject: Enumerable and WIN32OLE

I make a lot of use of the WIN32OLE library, with many thanks to Nobu
Nakada.

One of my common idioms is to take a WIN32OLE object that implements
the IEnumerable interface and extend it with the Ruby Enumerable Mix
in. Thus:

      rows = @ole_worksheet.usedRange.rows.extend Enumerable
      rows.select do |row|
        entire_row = row.entireRow
        entire_row.columns(1).text == '' and # comment
        entire_row.columns(2).text != '' # no action
      end

It strikes me that it might be reasonable to expect the Ruby win32ole
library to do this for me automatically. Do you agree?
