Charlie, you can also use some 'trick' to allow programmers choose if
he wants instance_eval or 'normal' version:

class Foo
  def initialize(*args, &block)
    if block_given?
      if block.arity == 1
        block.call(self)
      else
        instance_eval(&block)
      end
    end
  end
end

Foo.new do |foo|
  puts "self = #{self}"
  puts "foo = #{foo}"
end

Foo.new do
  puts "self = #{self}"
end
