That's not valid, a method cannot contain []:

irb> def hola[]() end
SyntaxError: compile error
syntax error, unexpected '[', expecting '\n' or ';'
def hola[]() end

Yes, but that is not valid for me since I need to exec some extra code
so I need to create an abstraction layer to access @params.


Thanks.
