 It depend how you interpret |i|

 Apparently many people (like me) see |i| as arguments, when ruby seems see
 only a multi-assignement.

 ruby is consistent in the sense that it give the same result for this
 example :

  a = x = 0
  [[1, 2]].each do |a, b|
      x, y = a, b
  end

 a and x are local variables
 b and y are dynamic variables.
