Yes I know, and that's my concern about the possibility of a fork.

In 1.9 Matz has basically set the caller side of keyword parameters.
What's left for 2.0 is how to write methods that take them as a
substitute for manipulating hash parameters in the input.  My concern
is that MacRuby might be going down a road which is incompatible with
the way Matz eventually goes on the receiving side.
