Example:

3.step by: 3, to: 9 {|i| p i}

Expected result (before 2.5.0):

3
6
9

Actual result (2.5.0):

a.rb:1: syntax error, unexpected '{', expecting end-of-input
3.step by: 3, to: 9 {|i| p i}
                    ^

Does not work for me on 2.4.3:

syntax error, unexpected '{', expecting end-of-input
3.step by: 3, to: 9 {|i| p i}

Are you sure that this has worked before?
