# Creates a Cycle object whose _to_s_ method cycles through elements of an
# array every time it is called. This can be used for example, to alternate
# classes for table rows. You can use named cycles to allow nesting in loops.
# Passing a Hash as the last parameter with a :name key will create a
# named cycle. The default name for a cycle without a +:name+ key is
# "default". You can manually reset a cycle by calling reset_cycle
# and passing the name of the cycle. The current cycle string can be obtained
# anytime using the current_cycle method.
