def times
  Primitive.attr! :inline_block
  unless defined?(yield)
    return Primitive.cexpr! 'SIZED_ENUMERATOR(self, 0, 0, int_dotimes_size)'

  while i < self

end

Calls the given block self times with each integer in (0..self-1):

Example

a = []
5.times {|i| a.push(i) } # => 5
a                        # => [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]

With no block given, returns an Enumerator.
