Hi, here is my try:

module ObjectSpace
    extend Enumerable

    def each(mod = nil, &block)
        if block_given?
            if mod.is_a? Module
                each_object(mod) { |o| block.call(o) }
            else
                each_object { |o| block.call(o) }
            end
        else
            to_enum
        end
    end
    module_function :each

    (Enumerable.instance_methods-[:to_enum]).select { |m|
self.method(m).arity == 0 }.each { |m|
        instance_eval <<-STR
        def #{m}(mod = nil, &block)
            if mod.is_a? Module
                objects = to_enum.select { |o| o.is_a? mod }
            else
                objects = to_enum
            end
            objects.send(:#{m}, &block)
        end
        STR
    }
end

Some tests:

p ObjectSpace.each #=> #<Enumerator: ObjectSpace:each>
p ObjectSpace.map(Numeric) { |o| o } #=> [2.718281828459045,
3.141592653589793, ...]

p ObjectSpace.map(Class) { |c| c.name }.select { |o| o.to_s[0]<"E" } #=>
["Complex", "Binding", ...]
p ObjectSpace.select(Class) { |o| o.to_s[0]<"E" }.map { |c| c.name } #=>
["Complex", "Binding", ...]


I'm wondering which method should implement an arg. For this I used:
(Enumerable.instance_methods-[:to_enum]).select { |m| self.method(m).arity
== 0 }
#=> [:to_a, :sort, :sort_by, :find_all, :select, :reject, :collect, :map,
:partition, :group_by, :all?, :any?, :one?, :none?, :min, :max, :minmax,
:min_by, :max_by, :minmax_by, :reverse_each, :take_while, :drop_while]

I think the main interest is for each and map, maybe select because it looks
nice.

For the others, it seem more clear to me to do: ObjectSpace.select {|o|
o.is_a? mod}

Something I don't understand is why it seem impossible to modify each if
Enumerable is included

Cheers
