as for me, i like obfuscation :ppp

a question that makes me wonder, is what the difference between the 2 following:


def f(a, b, c, *l)
   ...
   ... yield(...) ...
   ...
end

def f(a, b, c, *l, &f)
   ...
   ... f.call(...) ...
   ...
end


if as it seems to me, it is the same, why not remove yield for orthogonality?
