yes, i like it, thanks

Looks nice. My only comment would to replace your uses of #each with a more appropriate #inject, since that is what you are doing.
The pattern of
initialize accumulator
loop with each to add things into accumulator
return accumulator

is the use of #inject

Also, instead of putting guard clauses into the #each, looking into using #select. This refactoring can often make the code more flexible.

Added a benchmark against three versions including this ... https://gist.github.com/1091056 ... was wondering what the impact of the multiple enumerations would be ... this one comes out as pretty inefficient ... though admittedly in the grand scheme, this probably wouldn't be called 500,000 times in a tight loop :)
