Way to deal with Enumeration, help fix the greatest eye sore in java.util (except perhaps Properties)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Iterable<T> Iterables.for(Enumeration<T> enumeration);
Iterator<T> Iterators.for(Enumeration<T> enumeration);

Popular issue :)

First of all, "for" is a keyword :)
Iterators.forEnumeration is there, though.

Iterable doesn't make much sense.

Oh boy how'd I miss that!  I did check but not closely enough.  Thank you.

If Enumeration really is the greatest eyesore in java.util, count yourself 
fortunate
you haven't worked much with GregorianCalendar. :)  Although "eyesore" doesn't 
begin
to cover it....
