module Tins
# This module can be mixed into all classes, whose instances respond to the
# [] and size-methods, like for example Array. The returned elements from []
# should respond to the succ method.
module Minimize
# Returns a minimized version of this object, that is successive elements
# are substituted with ranges a..b. In the situation ..., x, y,... and y !=
# x.succ a range x..x is created, to make it easier to iterate over all the
# ranges in one run. A small example:
# [ 'A', 'B', 'C', 'G', 'K', 'L', 'M' ].minimize # => [ 'A'..'C', 'G'..'G', 'K'..'M' ]
#
# If the order of the original elements doesn't matter, it's a good idea to
# first sort them and then minimize:
# [ 5, 1, 4, 2 ].sort.minimize # => [ 1..2, 4..5 ]
