It twists my head trying to think about how it works.  Nothing else in
Ruby is like that.  (OK, continuations...)

As Robert suggests, this would be so much better

  values = File.foreach("cl").first(4).map :strip

What could be easier to understand than "send :strip to each element
of the collection"?
