Hmm. Here are my thoughts.

The parameters are "supposed" to be specified. If 
someone omits them, he is presumably purposely using
the default names -- in effect he is redeclaring those
local names -- and he should not be amazed when he gets
the innermost definition.

If he doesn't like that behavior, he can specify his
own parameter names or else rename the local variables.

But it might be worthwhile to have Ruby print a warning
about this. (?)
