Subject: does Object#to_enum exist?

Hi, all.

I saw someone post a snippet of code that turned an object (with some 
sort of "each" method) into an enumerable. It looked really neat, until 
I tried:

 >> "abcdef".to_enum(:each_byte)
NoMethodError: undefined method `to_enum' for "abcdef":String
         from (irb):1
 >>

I looked it up and ri seems to think I have Object#to_enum. The 
underlying code is c, so frankly, I don't understand it. Even running 
the examples from the documentation or looking at Object.new.methods, I 
see nothing about this elusive method. Does anybody have any insight? 
(I'm using ruby 1.8.6.)

Thanks,
Dan
