It was brought up today at lunch by Hal
that we could always use paren' to denote
default arguments. I think it is a rare enough
event, and the method has little impact on 
the language, that it may be the best idea yet.
<disclaimer>I'm not sure if Hal or someone else
came up with the idea first</disclaimer>

  x(a,b) { |y, (z=2)|  .... }
  x(a,b) { |y, (z=5|7)| ... }
  mylambda = lambda { |(a=1), (b=2) ... }
  x(a,b, &mylambda)
