|In Ruby 1.9 CVS, you can "call" local variables. i.e.

|f("hello","world!") {puts("bye")}

|The last statement is equivalent to:
|
|f.call("hello","world!") {puts("bye")}

|Any plans making these callable objects more general?

In fact, I am thinking reverting this "call" change.  It causes code
incompatibility, and lacks some generality, as you've stated.
