Haha. I had this massive Deja vu feeling while I wrote this but
couldn't find out why.
Yeah, you are right. Since its already documented a seealso is a good
with, and no example needed.

I think _because_ Traversable is documented (and this explained there)
the proto should be Traversable, especially since this function
doesn't take any object - it has to be iteratable.

I don't think the 'enhanced' description is needed as its already
covered in the Traversable docs (just like count(), $arrayobj[].. is
covered elsewhere..) :)
If you think the Traversable docs need better wording we should fix
that instead.
