If you believe there's value in being able to ignore args you don't care about, I don't see why it would not apply to keyargs.  The difference is not so fundamental, both are used to pass data to the block.  One might switch to keyargs for yield, to make the code clearer, but there would be no expectation of this difference in behavior.

blocks intentionally tolerate arity mismatches

```
irb(main):001:0> proc{|a, b| [a, b]}.(1)
[
  [0] 1,
  [1] nil
]

irb(main):003:0> proc{|a, b|[a, b]}.(1, 2, 3)
[
  [0] 1,
  [1] 2
]


```

so why not missing keyword args?

```
irb(main):002:0> proc{|a:, b:|[a, b]}.(a: 1)
ArgumentError: missing keyword: b


irb(main):004:0> proc{|a:, b:|[a, b]}.(a: 1, b: 1, c: 1)
ArgumentError: unknown keyword: c

```
