Thanks sir David for the note.
Do you think it is (im)possible ever to be included in the future?
I am asking since this is one of my favorites (My c++/clipper are full of
these…). Guess I have to welcome myself fully to ruby’s succ and
iterators… Iterators are a lot of help though imho…

I think if Matz wanted this in Ruby, it would be there by now The
thing is, if you have:
x = 0
x++
to increment x here would mean to increment the object, namely 0,
which you can’t do. (See earlier discussions for more on this.)

That’s certainly true: in Ruby you don’t have to do nearly as much
explicit incrementing as in other languages.
