Range index

is there any dry way to get the index of an element in a range without converting the range into an array ?

("A".."Z").each do | alpha |
  -> puts alpha.index (?) or something like that .... <-
end

("A".."Z").each_with_index do |alpha,i|
   puts i

Here's another one

irb(main):005:0> require 'enumerator'
=> true
irb(main):010:0> (1..10).to_enum(:each_with_index).find {|a,b| a==2}[1]
=> 1
