|Friend wondered why a method definition couldn't be like this:

|def blah do |x|
|	...
|end

This syntax disallows optional arguments.  We can't just parse them.
If you really want to define a method with block parameter style, you
can do:

  define_method(:blah) do |x|
    ...
  end

Almost same, isn't it?
