anonymous function argument, works like now:


cfp:~ > cat a.rb
def argv *argv
   p argv
end

argv('a')

argv ('a')

argv ('a', 'b')

argv ('a'), ('b')




cfp:~ > ruby a.rb
a.rb:10: warning: don't put space before argument parentheses
["a"]
["a"]
["a", "b"]
["a", "b"]


the space makes it so (i think)

that's a just off the cuff so i wouldn't be surprised if there were  
issues, but i couldn't think of any in, like, 8 seconds of  
consideration ;-)
