With this code, 'a' becomes a single Range.  Try: a = *1..10.

You'll have to redefine each() to yield two elements instead of one in order
to get this behavior.  Or you could just use step:

0.step(a.length,2){ |i| p a[i] }

You mean Ruby should automatically yield as many parameters as the block
expects?  You'll have to talk to Matz about that one. :)
