To make an easy reference. For example if you look at [ruby-talk:11580], you'll find why I think that it's not a good idea to add dispatch on the arguments in ruby. To have the dispatch you *must* have this rule, and see the comment of matz about it :-) This was one of my surprises with this dispatch, because it affect ruby on part which seems totally unrelated.
