From: Trans Date: 2005-10-10T01:06:52+09:00 Subject: Re: using lambda/Proc can prevent a lot of garbage collection This seems essentially the same as the discussion on closed blocks. Probably a bad idea to get rif of current behaivor, but there are good reasons to add an additional for what you suggest. Of course, off the bat there is a notation problem. My latest thought: [1,2,3].each{|x| p x |} The final '|' making it a closed block. T.
