[ruby-dev:28681] Block parameter and multiple values

  Takaaki Tateishi asked about the current status of new block parameter behavior
  in Ruby 2.0.  He also made a summary[1] of the new specification from Rite page
  on RubyGarden[2] and Matz' weblog[3].

    [1] Takaaki's summary: http://pub.cozmixng.org/~the-rwiki/?cmd=view;name=Ruby2.0BlockParamet...
    [2] Rite: http://wiki.rubygarden.org/Ruby/page/show/Rite
    [3] Matz' weblog: http://www.rubyist.net/~matz/20060323.html#p01

  Matz added his idea to the summary page.  Some of the ideas are being added
  to the CVS HEAD.

[ruby-dev:28689] digest.rb

  Tanaka Akira posted digest.rb to make requiring Digest library simple.
  We can use any digest algorithm by this script:

      module Digest
        autoload "MD5", "digest/md5"
        autoload "RMD160", "digest/rmd160"
        autoload "SHA1", "digest/sha1"
        autoload "SHA256", "digest/sha2"
        autoload "SHA384", "digest/sha2"
        autoload "SHA512", "digest/sha2"
      end

  He added that the script might be a good place to hold common Digest methods,
  such as hexdigest_file.
