If I'm not mistaken the enumerable methods exist partly to make the job 
of the Rails JavaScriptGenerator easier (although the Prototype.js 
implementation of them predates the JavaScriptGenerator). The 
JavaScriptGenerator translates a subset of Ruby into JavaScript so that 
RJS templates can be written entirely in Ruby.
