Subject: for enumerators:  last, prev ?

I see that enumerators have the methods rewind and next.

Are there equivalent methods "end" and "prev"?

I see reverse_each ... but what if I do have a large enumerable object and don't want the intermediate array created?



The documentation ( http://ruby-doc.org/core-1.9.3/Enumerable.html#method-i-reverse_each ) for reverse each says:

- - -

reverse_each(*args) {|item| block } ? enum click to toggle source
reverse_each(*args) ? an_enumerator

Builds a temporary array and traverses that array in reverse order.

If no block is given, an enumerator is returned instead.
