Note I had to explicitly define this in Binding to avoid the private method
invocation.

Note that this didn't work for me unless I passed a hash to Binding#with,
because otherwise the syntax it generates looks like `lambda{ |,&yields|
binding }` which is a syntax error

Seems doubtful, b/c I think `yield` only exists in methods, not in procs
(this is just based on behaviour I've experienced, not on an implementation
level knowledge)

def l() yield 1 end
method(:l).call { |x| x + x } # => 2

vs

lambda { yield 1 }.call { |x| x + x }
# ~> -:1:in `block in <main>': no block given (yield) (LocalJumpError)
