Comment(by martinlagardette@…):

 For the 2nd form, that's not really how ruby works. If lambdas and Procs
 exist, it is for a reason. One of these reasons being that a method is not
 an object. It's not a first-class citizen. Procs are. What you can do,
 however, is call `method(:handler)` to get a Method object. Whatever you
 do, in ruby, `handler` will call the `handler` method and use its result
 as the object being referenced.

 As for the 3rd form, I like it, but we'll have to see how (and if) it is
 possible to implement it :-).
