There's only 3. Named args, unnamed (positional) args, and a special block. Because Ruby was basically "let's make Python but without Guido's hatred of metaprogramming", so it copied Python's *args and **kwargs and then added the block so you could make functions that look like control blocks. To me the problem is that they're handled as 3 vars instead of 1 object that has 3 public properties.*
