- !ruby/struct:SM::Flow::P 
  body: When invoked with a block, yield all permutations of length <em>n</em> of the elements of <em>ary</em>, then return the array itself. If <em>n</em> is not specified, yield all permutations of all elements. The implementation makes no guarantees about the order in which the permutations are yielded.
- !ruby/struct:SM::Flow::P 
  body: When invoked without a block, return an enumerator object instead.
