Yes . . . I was just pointing out that, of those, the third is the only
one that really seems particularly readable to me in a Ruby context.

Something about with:it(v+1) just doesn't look very readable to me.  It
might have something to do with the lack of space separating tokens, but
I'm pretty sure that's not all there is to it.
