Subject: the better syntax?

first i had this (i pass bindings in afterward):

 bindings = {
   name => { 
     :value        => Proc.new { fruitapp.fruit.isa },
     :value=       => Proc.new { |x| fruitapp.fruit.isa = x },
     :items        => Proc.new { fruitapp.fruitbasket.contains },
     :event_change => Proc.new { fruitapp.pickafruit }
   }
 }

then i thought maybe this:

 mygui.bind(name, :value)        { fruitapp.fruit.isa }
 mygui.bind(name, :value=)       { |x| fruitapp.fruit.isa = x },
 mygui.bind(name, :items)        { fruitapp.fruitbasket.contains },
 mygui.bind(name, :event_change) { fruitapp.pickafruit }

a friend suggested this:

 mygui.bind(name,
   :value        => Proc.new { fruitapp.fruit.isa },
   :value=       => Proc.new { |x| fruitapp.fruit.isa = x },
   :items        => Proc.new { fruitapp.fruitbasket.contains },
   :event_change => Proc.new { fruitapp.pickafruit }
 )

or i could do this using #missing_method

 mygui.bind(name) {
   value        { fruitapp.fruit.isa }
   value=       { |x| fruitapp.fruit.isa = x }
   items        { fruitapp.fruitbasket.contains }
   event_change { fruitapp.pickafruit }
 }

which is better?
