$ri each_with_index
--------------------------------------------- Enumerable#each_with_index
      enum.each_with_index {|obj, i| block }  -> enum
------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Calls block with two arguments, the item and its index, for each
      item in enum.

         hash = Hash.new
         %w(cat dog wombat).each_with_index {|item, index|
           hash[item] = index
         }
         hash   #=> {"cat"=>0, "wombat"=>2, "dog"=>1}
