to_enum

/*
 *  call-seq:
 *    obj.to_enum(method = :each, *args)
 *    obj.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)
