[ruby-core:96270] [Ruby master Bug#10929] NilClass#to_proc and & don't mix?

Issue #10929 has been updated by mame (Yusuke Endoh).

Status changed from Open to Feedback

The suggested change is harmful.  It will break delegation: `def foo(&blk); bar(&blk); end; foo()`.

Ruby allows redefinition of `Integer#/` which is incredibly harmful, so it is possible to allow `NilClass#to_proc`.  But do you really want to allow that?

----------------------------------------
This is sort of like a "who would ever care" kind of bug. Nonetheless technically it seems like it is one. So I thought it best that I report it just the same.

~~~
  class NilClass
    def to_proc
      Proc.new{ |*x| nil }
    end
  end

  def f(&b)
    b.call(1)
  end  

  f(&nil)
  => NoMethodError: undefined method `call' for nil:NilClass
~~~

(Maybe it was fixed already. Filing out this issue reminded me I need to update my version of Ruby.)
