In ruby 2.2, when i try

def assert(*args, &blk)

end

assert(a > 0 and a < 1)

it will raise

Uncaught exception: /home/roroco/Dropbox/rbs/ro_btc/ex/ex.rb:5: syntax error, unexpected keyword_and, expecting ')'
assert(a > 0 and a < 1)

[roroco (roro co)]

class AsrErr < StandardError

end

def asr(r, msg=nil, *args, &blk)
  unless r
    if msg
      raise AsrErr
    end
  end
end

a = 2
asr (a > 0 and a < 1)

I hope asr(a > 0 and a < 1) can also work

It's a spec, and has lower precedence.
