Subject: [ruby-dev:49134] [Ruby trunk - Bug #11296] Proc#arity returns weird value for non-lambda proc with optional arguments

Issue #11296 has been updated by Marc-Andre Lafortune.


This is intentional, as per #5694 (note 22). It is not really related to #7765.

FWIW, I still believe it was not the best decision.

----------------------------------------
`Proc.new(x=0){}.arity` returns 0, not -1 unlike lambdas.
I don't remember if it's intentional or not.  Anyone remember?

Matz.
