  Ruby doesn't have unbounded methods as first class data, 

which makes me wonder why - it's such a marvellous OO lang with dedication
for first-classness.

Why we have bounded methods, like blocks, but not semibounded, like instance
methods, nor unbounded, like classmethods?

Why can't block return a value from many places?
