Sometimes, a Proc is sometimes like an anonymous method, right ?
If assignment does not make sense for proc p,
then is does not make sense for method m.
then m.[]=( 1, x) does not make any more sense than p.[]=( 1, x)
Then m[1] = x does not make sense either
Then it is an embarrassing situation because a[1] = x does not make sense...
So, it has to make sense for method, and it should make sense for proc too.
Am I missing something ?

That is true, it feels like treating assignment as an operation on object.
But it not true that Ruby treats assignment as an operation on variables,
it does so only for scalar object. For non scalars, arrays, hash, etc,
assignment is by method call (.[]=() on the non scalar object).
This is not symetric. Ruby could always treat assignment as an operation
on an object. This requires: a Lvalue class and the ability to redefine
the assignment operator. As a result a variable could easily be an instance
of Lvalue and we would get closer to the motto "Everything is an object in
Ruby". I am currently prototyping such a Lvalue class.
For speed reason, the actual Lvalue instance could be created only when
the user needs it, say: lvalue = ref a.
> Would you also argue that
> p = lambda {...}

If there was a Lvalue class, and if p was to return a lvalue, then I guess
p.call = a, b, c
would be equivalent to
lvalue = a, b, c
which is equivalent to
lvalue = a.
I would then expect the lvalue to be assigned a. Either by calling lvalue.=(a)
or directly by the interpretor.
But there is no Lvalue class today. The closer is a user defined Pointer class:
p = lambda { ... return an instance of Pointer }
p.call()[]= a, b, c
eqv p.call().[]=(a)
As you can see, with a Pointer, you have to dereference yourself using [],
whereas with a Lvalue you would not.

I made 2 mistakes, self is not the Proc object, x gets scoped out.
r.replace { x } would work, but then r = proc { x } is more obvious.
I don't know how to get the current Proc object from the proc's body.
Any clue ?

Nota: @x is actually an instance variable of the object that
defined the proc. I tought it was an instance variable of the
Proc object itself, but I was wrong. Sorry about that.

True. Now they use a local variable of the method instead of
an instance variable of the object.

Well, in this case you call long_method even if the proc is never called.
That was not the purpose of the example. The example is a cache where
long_method is call at most once, but only if needed (cached & lazy !).

I suspect it makes sense that a value is cached precisely when it is
often needed. With replace() the overhead of replace() decreases as
you need the cached value more and more, at some point it becomes
negligeable.

True. I still need to figure how to get the current proc object when
executing the block's body.

That's a matter of style I guess. Besides, that was just a short convenient
example
(slightly broken) to show what Proc#replace() would do.
