That's neat, this might be handy too:

class Proc
  def |(other)
    proc{|*a| other.call(self.call(*a)) }
  end
end

I think I got the idea from something on Why's site, though I can't
find it now.  Anyways if you could now do:

f = lambda {|x| x * 2} | lambda {|x| 0 - x} | lambda {|x| x + 10}

or more verbosely:

a = lambda {|x| x * 2}
b = lambda {|x| 0 - x}
c = lambda {|x| x + 10}

f = (a|b|c)

Think of it as unix pipes :)
