to_enum(*args)
public
Similar to Kernel#to_enum, except it returns a lazy enumerator. This makes it easy to define Enumerable methods that will naturally remain lazy if called from a lazy enumerator.
For example, continuing from the example in Kernel#to_enum:
# See Kernel#to_enum for the definition of repeat r = 1..Float::INFINITY r.repeat(2).first(5) # => [1, 1, 2, 2, 3] r.repeat(2).class # => Enumerator r.repeat(2).map{|n| n ** 2}.first(5) # => endless loop! # works naturally on lazy enumerator: r.lazy.repeat(2).class # => Enumerator::Lazy r.lazy.repeat(2).map{|n| n ** 2}.first(5) # => [1, 1, 4, 4, 9]
