There is probably something better to be had using reflection and method
generation, but here's one stab:

class << ObjectSpace
  def method_missing(sym, *args, &block)
    mod   rgs.first.is_a?(Module) ? args.shift : nil
    enum  num_for(*[:each_object, mod].compact)
    enum.__send__(sym, *args, &block)
  end
end

# e.g. puts ObjectSpace.map(Class) { |c| c.name }
