BTW, enumerator and generator both serve similar puposes and ship with
Ruby by default.

  require 'enumerator'
  require 'generator'

  si = "string".to_enum(:each_byte)

  for byte in si 
    ...
  end


  g = Generator.new(si)
  while g.next?
    p g.next
  end

I am not sure where the differences are. And I don't say that iterator
is not useful ;-)
