 a block is defined independantly of |x, y, z| not a method.

 What do you want to say with this ?

M> block would be created in the caller's binding. 

 This mean that <x, y> will be equivalent to (x, y), strange why do you use
 a different delimitor ?

 Now I can write |$x, $y| the next step will be to have 'def toto($x, $y)' ?

 There are too many difference between variables in || and the definition
 of a def.
