They're synonyms, but proc is being phased out, because it looks too
similar to Proc.new {} but does something different.  

It does all get rather complex, in my opinion.  I think it's
reasonable to say that a certain number of us are hoping for some kind
of unification/simplification of the whole lambda/Proc/method/block
landscape.
