Subject: [ruby-core:37677] semicolon in block arg list

I found some online doco about 1.8 -> 1.9 changes that includes this gem:

> x = 1
> [2,3].each {|y;x| x = y }
> p x # => 1

It says that ';' declares 'x' as block local. 1.9 warns about the shadowed variable regardless of ',' vs ';', so is this new syntax meaningful at all? I've never seen it used anywhere.
