Hi there,

I've been investigating the railscasts episodes which talk about complex forms 
and I ran across this notation in the example code provided in part 3 of the 
episode.

at some point in a model method, there is this line:

tasks.reject(&:new_record?).each do |task| 

I have no problem with the ".each do..." stuff, I guess that "reject" is quite 
the opposite of find but I quite don't understand the "&:new_record?" notation
What is the purpose of the &
Is it some sort of Ruby idiom

I have the feeling that it should read "find any task object that is not new" 
(i.e. created but not saved)

How would you customize it to achieve this goal :

Find the last task object (sorted by id's) that is not new

Thanks a lot in advance
Christophe
