In such case, i.e., when you don't want to take the responsibility of managing the arguments and blocks, I think you should use `super`, not `super(foo, &block)`. Using `super()` is a way to explicitly take care of the arguments, and it is counter-intuitive and inconsistent to let only the block be passed automatically.

Feature #15574: Prohibit to pass a block on super() implicitly

----------------------------------------
As described in [Feature #15554], `super()` (not `super`) pass the given block.

```
class C
  def foo
    p block_given?
  end
end

class C1 < C
  def foo
    super   #=> true
    super() #=> true
  end
end

C1.new.foo{}
```

`super` (without parameters) passes all passed parameters so it is no surprise to pass given block. 

However, `super()` (with parameters. In this case, it passes 0 parameters) also pass given block implicitly.

I'm not sure who use this behavior, but I think it is simple to prohibit such implicit block passing.
