(Idea) Trick for converting Ruby blocks to SymEngine formulae #41

Description

OK, it is not the time for it currently, just an idea for future.

Usage:

puts SymEngine.formula {|x, y| x**2 + y**2}
# => x**2 + y**2

Naive implementation:

def SymEngine.formula &block
  block.parameters.empty? and fail(ArgumentError, "Block should list all expected symbols")
  block.parameters.map(&:first).uniq == [:opt] or fail(ArgumentError, "Only plain parameters are supported (no defaults, no *rest, no keyword args)")
  symbols = block.parameters.map(&:last).map(&SymEngine::Symbol.method(:new))
  block.call(*symbols)
end

There's almost no "dangerous" magics (with method_missing, instance_eval and stuff), and seems pretty useful?..
