Yes.  Sorry.

No.  But among Japanese audience.  `to_a' is too strong conversion.
It converts everything into an array.  It tends to defer type mismatch
error. We abandand to use of `to_s' for string conversion before for
same reason.

Yes.

|I see. So a block always returns a value? I will check this also.

Yes.  In Ruby, everything has its value, even definitions (although
they doesn't have meaningful values).

|Thanks very much, Matz...

Not at all, for sake of you and your work. ;-)
