My goal is to let there be x so that x("? world. what ? you say...", ['hello', 'do']) returns "hello world. what do you say...".

I have something that works, but seems far from the "Ruby way":

def x(str, arr, rep='?')
  i = 0
  query.gsub(rep) { i+=1; arr[i-1] }
end

Is there a more idiomatic way of doing this? (Let me note that speed is the most important factor, of course.)
