Subject: Garden RubyNuby Question on parameters in blocks vs. methods

Noticed a new question on the RubyNuby page of the Garden Wiki.

"Why is method parameter syntax different from block parameter syntax?
Why not def foo |x| ... or do (a, b=1) ... ? (The question is not where
the notation came from; the question is, why are parameter lists not
the same in every context?)"

Seems to me there are at least a couple of parts to this question 1)
why the syntax differs and 2) why the parameter lists do not work
exactly the same.
