I'm really not sure why you're shuddering. It's no different than doing
this:

a = [proc{}, proc{}]
# => [#<Proc:0x40205390@(irb):1>, #<Proc:0x40205368@(irb):1>]

a = a.join(', ')
# => "#<Proc:0x40205390@(irb):1>, #<Proc:0x40205368@(irb):1>"

So it's no more or less desirable than doing that. It's like +=, it's
just shorthand. += doesn't always make sense either.
