|I really like this approach.  What's the downside to this choice?

I sometimes want to take out values from the block and I hate to be
forced to assign only for "variable declaration", for example

  ary.each {|x|
    if cond(x)
      val = func(x)
      break
    end
  }
  p val   # val is out-of-scope
