Hi Matz, may I remind you that I wish proc/block/method were closer, with
as few differences as it makes sense, because it's a mess explaining it to
someone else, and it's a mess remembering how it works, and the
differences between versions of Ruby. So I hope Ruby 2.0 will make it
_simpler_ and _final_. I don't want them to change again in 2.2 and 2.4. I
think making them simpler will reduce the temptation to change them again.

(Oh, and I still want the merging of Class and Module, even though I won't 
talk much about it anymore. I mention it because it's the same kind of
thing; that is, it's about removing unnecessary elements from the
language.)
