Introducing Combinatorics 0.2.0

I decided to take my List Comprehension code with some other Combinatorics code I had floating around and release Combinatorics 0.2.0:

$ gem install combinatorics

After getting specs on the List Comprehension code, it became easy to refactor it and get the specs passing on Ruby 1.8.7, 1.9.2 and JRuby. Unfortunately, Rubinius does not yet support Enumerator#next.

The Combinatorics library also contains the powerset method, added to Array and Set:

require 'combinatorics'

[1,2,3].powerset
# => [[],
      [3],
      [2],
      [2, 3],
      [1],
      [1, 3],
      [1, 2],
      [1, 2, 3]]

In Combinatorics 0.2.0, Range#&, Range#upto and Range#downto were also added:

(1..50) & (20..100)
# => (20..50)

(1..5).upto(2..10).to_a
# => [1..5, 1..6, 1..7, 1..8, 1..9, 1..10,
      2..5, 2..6, 2..7, 2..8, 2..9, 2..10]

(2..10).downto(1..5).to_a
# => [2..10, 2..9, 2..8, 2..7, 2..6, 2..5,
      1..10, 1..9, 1..8, 1..7, 1..6, 1..5]

Fork the Combinatorics library today, and add your own Combinatoric methods.
