Sometimes.  I slept all day long today.  I've got a cold.  Don't stay
up too late, kids. ;-)

But fibUpTo() has its return value, which happens to be meaningless
for this method, other than yielded values.  So it may be better that: 

  fibUpTo(20)   ->  nil/[1,1,2,3,5,8,13]

In addition, not all blocks are used for iteration.  For example,
how do you think the following should be documented?

  [4,2,4,5].sort  -> [2,4,4,5]/[[4, 4],[4, 5],[2, 4],[4, 2]]?
