Indeed, there's no problem when you pass them around and invoke them 
explicitly.

My question (and I apologise if I didn't word it clearly) was regarding 
the 'yield' keyword, to make a callback to a hidden proc which is not 
one of the explicit arguments. e.g.

  def foo(*a,&b)
    yield 123      # similar to b.call(123)
  end

  pr = Proc.new { |x| puts x }
  foo(&pr)

This works fine as shown when passing to a method, but not when passing 
to another Proc.
