I do want to come up with a nice way to do that... However:

if numerator and denominator are plain lists that magically have an
each method...

each_numerator = numerator.each
each_denominator = denominator.each

each_numerator % each_denominator

see where I'm going with the mismatch on the semantics?  I know the
example is a bit contrived, sorry.

Expanding iterators by default might be a worth a shot though, since
passing around iterators like that is pretty rare.
