When overriding a method, I try to preserve its signature. Therefore, I usually use `super` and I sometimes use `super(...)` with *optional* arguments as shown above. But having to unset a block via `super(&nil)` happens once in a blue moon.

My point is: it might be inconsistent, but it is a good inconsistency. It does what you almost always want.

And since `super` is a *keyword*, I think it can get away with it.

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.
