Issue #15973 has been updated by Eregon (Benoit Daloze).


On a related note I think we should also prohibit `define_method(&non_lambda)` because that confusingly treats the same block body differently (e.g., the same `return` in the code means something different).

----------------------------------------
When Kernel#lambda receives a Proc that is not a lambda,
it returns it without modification. l propose to change `Kernel#lambda`
so it always returns a lambda.

Calling a method called lambda and having it do nothing in effect is
not very intuitive.

Judging from marcandre's investigation here: https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/15620#note-1,
changing the behavior should not cause much breakage, if any.


This also happens to fix [Bug #15620]
