class Myst::Block

Overview

A block definition. Functionally, a block is equivalent to a method definition. The only difference being that a block is always unnamed. Syntax-wise, blocks appear as the last expression in a Call, and can be created either by a do...end construct or curly braces ({ ... }).

'do' [ '|' param [ ',' param ]* '|' ] body 'end' | '{' [ '|' param [ ',' param ]* '|' ] body '}'

Convention recommends that the brace form only be used for single-line blocks, and the do...end form only be used for multi-line blocks.
