ko1 convinced matz to accept this and he provided his reasons, simplicity of notation, not requiring an otherwise pointless variable. Which makes sense to me.
Also keep in mind that lazy proc allocation is an implementation detail. Conceptually when you declare a block params it still looks like you're doing unnecessary work of instantiating a proc object which you have no intention of using.
Every method has an invisible, nameless, optional block, and a naked `&` seems like an intuitive, logical way to forward it.
----------------------------------------
Feature #11256: anonymous block forwarding
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/11256#change-68426
* Author: bughit (bug hit)
* Status: Assigned
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto)
* Target version: next minor
----------------------------------------
since capturing a block into a proc is slow: foo(&block)
and creating chains of blocks is kind of ugly and ultimately also inefficient: foo{yield}
why not allow block forwarding without capturing: foo(&) foo(1, 2, &)
