It's kind of a null issue now, IMO, now that the method of passing 
blocks is cleared up, but this is what I meant:

$_ = "hello"
scan(/l/)
This example has a receiver that is not explicit (not in the sense that 
the receiver is self but that it is not on that line).  This method is 
falling out of favor for the above reason.

def meth
   yield
end
This example also has a yield with no explicit receiver as defined 
above.  If the above example is going out of favor, why is this one the 
preferred method?

This is what I was referring to as well, if it isn't obvious from my 
other replies I'm sorry.
