You can consider {} is almost equal to do/end which is used for block
passing to a method.  For example, 

     a.each {|i| .... }

and

    a.each do |i| .... end

have identical meaning.

It sounds delightful :-) I'm being trained here and in ruby-list now
too.  That is really great experience in my life.  These pleasant
communities are gem of Ruby, I think.  Thank you.
