Thank you for the clarification concering the block! But my problem with
ruby is that there seems to exist no free specification. I really don't
want to buy such a book (I don't use awdr either). Please correct me if
there exist free specs except the api docs. I only found a lot of
examples and tutorials but most of my questions are quite special and
not covered in the tuts.
