Would avoid the problem. Though it's good to point out that you
likely want to avoid changing the state of any variable that's
captured by a promise closure (unless of course you plan on exploiting
just that).


   
  All this being said, is there any merit in the idea of passing block parameters? I was toying with it briefly and decided to give it a shot on a whim. Will try and come up with a more convincing answer.
   
  Thanks for all your inputs.
