From: matz@... Date: 2015-06-12T09:14:58+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:69547] [Ruby trunk - Bug #11048] blocks raise on missing and extra keyword args Issue #11048 has been updated by Yukihiro Matsumoto. We don't care about consistency here. Block does not report ArgumentError for reasons, so if you have any real-world use case that require keyword argument tolerance, just tell me. Otherwise I reject.
