I was thinking today, it would be nice if a view could tell a model how to format it''s data for that particular view. Kind of like, the view is bestowing instant, and temporary knowledge on the model for the duration of the views run.

Does ruby have anything where if I''m going through a do-while loop, or a "3.times" loop or "for product in products" where there''s a variable that will tell me which iteration of the loop I''m on?
