def chain(other=nil, &block)
  other ||= block
  proc { |*args| other.call( self.call(*args) ) }
end

#join(other = nil, &block) ⇒ Object Also known as: &

Join two procs together, returning a new proc. Each proc is executed one after the other, with the same input arguments. The return value is an array of the return values from all the procs.

You can use either the .join method, or the overloaded & operator.

Examples:

joined = proc1 & proc2
joined = proc1.join proc2
newproc = proc { 1 } & proc { 2 }
newproc.call #=> [1, 2]
