Consider the following code:

   def bar
     puts "ONE"

   def foo
     puts "TWO"

   def bar
     puts "THREE"
   end

   bar
   foo

What does it print?

Answer #1:

   def bar
     puts "ONE"
   end

   def foo
     puts "TWO"
   end

   def bar
     puts "THREE"
   end

   bar
   foo

prints

THREE
TWO

Answer #2:

   def bar
     puts "ONE"
   end

   def foo
     puts "TWO"

     def bar
       puts "THREE"
     end
   end

   bar
   foo

prints

ONE
TWO

So I don't think it's unambiguous at all.
