Re: yield and call not identical?

I was playing with unification some time ago. This is way I came with:

class Function

  #
  #    MODES    block   Proc.new    ?     lambda
  #           +----------------------------------
  #   @pcheck | false    true     false    true
  #   @rlocal | false    false    true     true
  #
  def initialize( name=nil, pcheck=false, rlocal=false, &func )
    @func = func
    @name = name
    @rlocal = rlocal  # return_local
    @pcheck = pcheck  # check_parameters

    @inst = false
    @bind = nil
  end

protected

  #def func=(n)  ; @func = n  ; end  # really need ?
  #def name=(n)  ; @name = n  ; end

public

  def name      ; @name   ; end
  def binding   ; @bind   ; end
  def instance? ; @inst   ; end
  def local?    ; @rlocal ; end
  def check?    ; @pcheck ; end

  # control the parameter checking mode

  def check
    @pcheck = true
    self
  end

  def nocheck
    @pcheck = false
    self
  end

  # control the local return mode

  def local
    @rlocal = true
    self
  end

  def nonlocal
    @rlocal = false
    self
  end

  #def with_mode( pcheck, rlocal=@rlocal )
  #  @pcheck = pcheck
  #  @rlocal = rlocal
  #  self
  #end

  def bind( obj, name=@name )
    raise 'method must have a name' unless name
    raise 'method must have an object to bind to' unless obj
    obj.class.send( :define_method, name, &@func )
    @bind = obj
    @inst = true
    @__m__ = obj.method( name )
    self
  end

  def unbind
    @bind = @bind.class
    @inst = false
    @__m__ = @__m__.unbind
    self
  end

  def define( mod, name=@name )
    raise 'unbound method must have a name' unless name
    raise 'unbound method must have an a module/class to be defined
within' unless klass
    klass.send( :define_method, name, &func )
    @bind = klass
    @inst = false
    @__m__ = klass.instance_method( name )
    self
  end

  def undefine
    @bind = nil
    @inst = false
    @__m__ = nil
    @bind.remove_method( @name )
    self
  end

  # usage methods

  def call(*args, &blk)
    if @pcheck && @func.arity > -1
      raise ArgumentError, "wrong number of arguments ( #{args.size}
for #{@func.arity} )" if @func.arity != args.size
    end
    if @bind and @inst       # method
      @__m__.call(*args, &blk)
    elsif @bind and ! @inst  # unbound method
      call_func(*args, &blk)
    else
      call_func(*args, &blk)
    end
  end

  def call_func(*args, &blk)
    if @rlocal
      lambda(&@func).call(*args, &blk)
    else
      @func.call(*args, &blk)
    end
  end
  private :call_func

  alias_method :[], :call

  def arity
    @func.arity
  end
