Despite the fact that it looks like a monstruous cross between do... end and
{...}, and would allow the stuttering:

whatever_method do(x, foo=bar) do puts x,foo end

I don't find it that bad at all. If we go for a keyword rather than symbol
solution, I wouldn't mind it. For returning a Proc, using lambda is still the
best idea so far:

a = lambda(x, foo=bar) {puts x,foo}

Maybe "with"?

whatever_method with(x, foo=bar) {puts x,foo}
whatever_method with(x, foo=bar) do puts x,foo end

I still like my colon better ;) .
