Facets 1.8
Facets is a large collection of core extension methods and module
additions for the Ruby programming language. The core extensions are
unique by virtue of their atomicity. Methods are stored in their own
files, allowing for highly granular control of requirements. The
modules include a variety of useful classes, mixins and
microframeworks, from the Functor to a complete SI Units system.
It’s been a long time since the last release of Facets. Too long
really. 1.7’s tiny number made it all the way up to 191 before I
tagged it 1.8, plus 51 subsequent changes before official release! So
Facets continues to mature: new methods have been added, as well as a
few classes. And 2.0 promises to be even more exciting. As always
thanks to everyone who has contributed, both directly and indirectly.

- minor improvemtns to module/clone_using and integrate
- openobject.rb (added NilClass#to_openobject)
- replaced enumerable/each_slice.rb w/ redirect to enumerator.rb.
Ruby already has #each_slice if you require ‘enumerator’. For 1.9,
I believe this will be present automatically. So Facets’
each_slice
has been replaced with a simple redirection to require
‘enumerator’.
Ruby’s version is slightly different in that it won’t check arity
if
a slice count is not given. For this, use enumerable/each_by. - removed array/delete_at.rb (Use #delete_values_at instead)

- additions and adjusments related to hash/delete_at
- added Dir.bitbucket
- update to array/op_fetch to include op_store
- added filesystem.rb
- updates to enumerable each_slice
- updated names of meta files
- added trace to command.rb
ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO RUBY!
