Subject: Different semantics of Proc and method call -- bug or feature?

Hi all,


I stumbled over the following difference between method calls and  
Proc calls:

require 'pp';

def a_method(arg, *args)
   arg
end

a_proc = Proc.new do | arg, *args |
   arg
end

pp a_method(1)       # => expected 1, got 1
pp a_proc.call(1)    # => expected 1, got 1

pp a_method([1])     # => expected [1], got [1]
pp a_proc.call([1])  # => expected [1], got 1     <== ?!


I would expect that method calls and proc calls do not differ in such  
a way.
Is this a bug or a feature?


Thanks for your help,

Tammo
