Maybe we can add a new arity_range method that does this?

Yes, we have been discussed very deeply in the past, mostly in
ruby-dev (Japanese developers list).  In tha past history of Ruby,
assignment to block parameters had behaved more like multiple
assignment.  But we have gradually moved toward method argument
passing behavior.  So if I were about to start new language, I
wouldn't add this auto-splat at all, but since we have history, the
community and the code base, I couldn't fix this corner-case.

Maybe we can remove this in Ruby 3.0.
