=begin
eval's documentation wrongly claims it accepts a Proc for the binding argument. This patch fixes the RDoc.

=begin
Patch applied in r25335 for now. Should eval accept a Proc? It might be preferable not to, since it might be clearer to pass some_proc.binding then only some_proc.

Hi,

Ko1 asked matz to delete this feature for ease of YARV
implementation, and matz approved. [ruby-dev:34915]

So this is intended change. I close this ticket.

Ko1 also invited public opinion about the feature (is
there people who want this feature?). [ruby-dev:34917]
Only akr answered that he want for his library (htree),
and the discussion stopped.
If you want the feature, please register new ticket with
reason to Feature tracker.
