Subject: Does instance_eval passes self as block argument?

Ruby's documentation of instance_eval shows the "signature" of instance_eval as:

obj.instance_eval {| | block } => obj

I assume that the block should not take any argument. However, if I
write the following code:

class A
  def sayhello(who)
    puts "hello #{who}: #{object_id}"
  end
end

A.new.instance_eval do |who|
  sayhello("me")
  who.sayhello("who")
end

it prints "hello me: -605850598" then  "hello who: -605850598"

Is is guaranteed to work??
