module Spruz
  # This class can create generator objects, that can produce all tuples, that
  # would be created by as many for-loops as dimensions were given.
  #
  # The generator
  #  g = Spruz::Generator[1..2, %w[a b c]]
  # produces
  #  g.to_a # => [[1, "a"], [1, "b"], [1, "c"], [2, "a"], [2, "b"], [2, "c"]]
  #
  # The 'each' method can be used to iterate over the tuples
  #  g.each { |a, b| puts "#{a} #{b}" }
  # and Spruz::Generator includes the Enumerable module, so
  # Enumerable.instance_methods can be used as well:
  #  g.select { |a, b| %w[a c].include? b  } # => [[1, "a"], [1, "c"], [2, "a"], [2, "c"]]
  #
