Issue #13904 has been updated by knu (Akinori MUSHA).


Well, this issue states that the motivation for introducing the getter methods is for getting return values of Range#step(n) to be handled specially by some libraries or individual methods, and as I said it is to me a typical misuse of such accessors I've been thinking of and I believe there's a better way to achieve the goal, so I can't buy that argument.

I can hardly believe you'd be happy (at the cost of introducing a new feature) if you had to check `x.instance_of?(Enumerator) && x.receiver.is_a?(Numeric) && x.method_name == :step` every time your method was passed an object that might be a step object.  It really looks like you are doing some hack as the last resort because you don't have anything better yet.  If stepped range objects are useful, they deserve a new class for their own.

Feature #13904: getter for original information of Enumerator

At https://gitter.im/red-data-tools/ja?at=59b0aaa097cedeb04828e268 ,
mrkn says narray and pycall use internal information of ruby to check `Range#step(n)`.

People of red-data-tools/ja suggest subclass of Enumerator.
But I think it does not match Ruby's '大クラス主義' (I don't know this word in English), so I suggest to add some methods to Enumerator class.

proof of concept attached.

Usage:

```
% irb -r irb/completion --simple-prompt
>> e=(1..2).step(3)
=> #<Enumerator: 1..2:step(3)>
>> e.receiver
=> 1..2
>> e.method_name
=> :step
>> e.arguments
=> [3]
```

`#method` is conflict with `Kernel#method`, so use `#method_name` instead.
