BTW: That's syntactic sugar for Proc#call. I recently had a problem with
this method while experimenting with CPS and current continuations. I
have used [] to call a Proc object and the program broke as I
wanted to drop in Continuation object in its place because the latter
only support the call method. Perhaps it would be a good idea to add []
to Continuation to enable both to repsond to the same protocol?
