I think the return is returning from the yielding procedure rather
than the block, as the following demonstrates:

  def meth n
    block_meth do
      if n == 42
        return 'forty-two'
      end
    end
  end

  def block_meth
    yield
    return "ask another question"
  end
      
puts meth(42)
puts meth(40)
