(I can't reply to myself because of some weird encoding-related
problem that makes me unable to see my own text.)

I might be wrong in what I said about empty parens, or at least the
example I gave.  I guess you could still do:

   Hash.new { [] }

and just not have an arglist at all.

I'm still not seeing a bit need for a change in this direction.
