+** Enumerable::Enumerator(Class)
+
+A class which provides a method `each' to be used as an Enumerable
+object.
+
+Superclass: Object
+
+Mix-ins: Enumerable
+
+require 'enumerator'
+
+Class Methods:
+
+ new(obj, method = :each, *args)
+
+ Creates a new Enumerable::Enumerator object, which is to be
+ used as an Enumerable object using the given object's given
+ method with the given arguments.
+
+ e.g.:
+ str = "xyz"
+
+ enum = Enumerable::Enumerator.new(str, :each_byte)
+ a = enum.map {|b| '%02x' % b } #=> ["78", "79", "7a"]
+
+Methods:
+
+ each {...}
+
+ Iterates the given block using the object and the method
+ specified in the first place.
+
+
+Requiring this module also adds some methods to the Object class:
+
+ to_enum(method = :each, *args)
+ enum_for(method = :each, *args)
+
+ Returns Enumerable::Enumerator.new(self, method, *args).
+
+ e.g.:
+ str = "xyz"
+
+ enum = str.enum_for(:each_byte)
+ a = enum.map {|b| '%02x' % b } #=> ["78", "79", "7a"]
+
+ # protects an array from being modified
+ a = [1, 2, 3]
+ some_method(a.to_enum)
+
+And the Enumerable module.
+
+ each_slice(n) {...}
+
+ Iterates the given block for each slice of <n> elements.
+
+ e.g.:
+ (1..10).each_slice(3) {|a| p a}
+ # outputs below
+ [1, 2, 3]
+ [4, 5, 6]
+ [7, 8, 9]
+ [10]
+
+ enum_slice(n)
+
+ Returns Enumerable::Enumerator.new(self, :each_slice, n).
+
+ each_cons(n) {...}
+
+ Iterates the given block for each array of consecutive <n>
+ elements.
+
+ e.g.:
+ (1..10).each_cons(3) {|a| p a}
+ # outputs below
+ [1, 2, 3]
+ [2, 3, 4]
+ [3, 4, 5]
+ [4, 5, 6]
+ [5, 6, 7]
+ [6, 7, 8]
+ [7, 8, 9]
+ [8, 9, 10]
+
+ enum_cons(n)
+
+ Returns Enumerable::Enumerator.new(self, :each_cons, n).
+
+ enum_with_index
+
+ Returns Enumerable::Enumerator.new(self, :each_with_index).
