Subject: cycle in Ruby 1.9?

Hi all-

I've seen a number of references to being able to pass an argument to 
cycle() to limit its behavior to a finite number of iterations. 
However, I get this in irb 1.9.0:

ruby 1.9.0 (2007-12-25 revision 14709) [i686-darwin9.4.0]
spinoza:~$ irb
irb(main):001:0> ('a'..'c').cycle(2)
ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments(1 for 0)
	from (irb):1:in `cycle'
	from (irb):1
	from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.0/irb.rb:150:in `block (2 levels) in 
eval_input'
	from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.0/irb.rb:259:in `signal_status'
	from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.0/irb.rb:147:in `block in eval_input'
	from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.0/irb.rb:146:in `eval_input'
	from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.0/irb.rb:70:in `block in start'
	from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.0/irb.rb:69:in `catch'
	from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.0/irb.rb:69:in `start'
	from /usr/local/bin/irb:13:in `<main>'
irb(main):002:0> 

Any thoughts on why this doesn't work for me?

Best, Charles
