Feature #18515

PR is ~~https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/5489~~ https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/8525 https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/5489 Current `Range#reverse_each` uses `Enumerable#reverse_each` which is implemented with `#to_a`. So we are virtually not able to use `reverse_each` for a very large or beginless range, even if few elements are iterated on actually. ``` (1..2**100).reverse_each { |x| p x; break if x.odd? } (..5).reverse_each { |x| p x; break if x == 0 } (1..2**32).reverse_each.lazy.select { |x| Prime.prime?(x) }.take(3).to_a ``` This patch, implements `Range#reverse_each` for Integer elements, enables these examples. I think `#reverse_each` for an endless range should raise an exception. This is a different issue, so I'll create another ticket later. -> posted: https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/18551
