I'm just talking about passing a block to a method. You think I'm talking about a clever way of specifying a method's argument signature. I'm not. -- No proper program contains an indication which as an operator-applied occurrence identifies an operator-defining occurrence which as an indication- applied occurrence identifies an indication-defining occurrence different from the one identified by the given indication as an indication-applied occurrence. - Algol 68 Report
