There are many things in Ruby that are not objects - not only keywords 
but also, for example, blocks. While blocks can be 'converted' into 
objects (Proc objects), unlike in some other languages (such as 
Smalltalk), Ruby blocks do not automatically have an independent 
existence - that is, just writing a block in code does not make it an 
instance of a Block (or Proc) class.
