Subject: A cleaner way to pass a block or proc

Is there a cleaner way to implement my add_notifier method?

def add_notifier(notifier, &block)
     if block_given?
        @notifiers << block
     else
        @notifiers << notifier
     end
  end

  def thump
     raise ArgumentError, "You must add_notifier before you can notify" if
@notifiers.empty?
     @notifiers.each {|n| n.call }
  end


 Here's how the method will be used.

hb.add_notifier nil do
  puts "Notification1"
end

meth = lambda{ puts "notification2" }
hb.add_notifier(meth)

It just seems really unpretty to pass that nil when I want to pass just the
block.
