Given this, then:

  def foo(&block); block.call; end
  p = proc { p x }
  foo { x = 1 }
  p.call()

Will print:

  1

but currently gets:

  NameError: undefined local variable or method `x' for #<Object:0x4028cce0>
          from (irb):2
          from (irb):2:in `call'
          from (irb):4

should it instead issue a warning, since the code is not
backward-compatible?
