Avoiding the "multiple values for a block parameter" warning

As pointed out below, you can also have optional parameters. But you will get something like “warning: multiple values for a block parameter (0 for 1)” if you omit them.

You can avoid those warnings by passing *args and picking the parameters yourself:

define_method :that_method do |*args|

  foo = args[0] || 'my default'
  # ...
end

Now the warning will be gone. Just make sure you fetch your parameters from *args and assign a default value (unless you want them to default to nil).
