 This is what the documentation is for.

 Well, I've the strange impression that this is just because you see for
 the first time a language with block, like ruby, that you need some
 artificials way to know when a method use a block, or not. Just let the
 beginner learn the language and after he'll not have problems and don't
 need some artificials convention.
