See following code, please ...

def myloop
   if accept_block?
      while true
         yield
      end
   else
      raise SyntaxError, "no block given"
   end
end

If I look that code, I have the feeling, that myloop *asks* somehow or
somewhere, if it is permitted to accept a block! That clearly was not
the intention I had writing that method.

Huozhe, ni xiang zenmeyang? :-)
