As long as we are being noisy in our thinking, I'm pretty sure
that a parser would not confuse the character combo '(='
with a valid syntax. :)

  lambda { |x(=1), y(=(2**(3-2))| ... }
  lambda { |(x=1), (y=(2**(3-2))| ... }

Hmm, it defintely makes the arguments more visible when there are defaults.
