Subject: Re: is there a better string.each?

i see. ROC? no. what sean is saying is not that string = array, but that
a string is a kind of array, limited by the types of objects it can
contain (characters) and yet expanded to minupulate those.

regardless of the string is an array argument, they both partake of
sequence and containment. notice in ruby they both mixin Enumerable. so
why should they not equally share every method in which they are thus
analogous?

as to the original question concerning .each, it appears that it will
remain as is, which is understandable, but also too bad. IMHO. it would
be nicer i think if .each itereated over the least common denominator:
the character. after all we already have each_line, but alas no
each_chr.
