A Ruby-ized realization of the K combinator, courtesy of Mikael Brockman. 

  def foo
    returning values = [] do
      values << 'bar'
      values << 'baz'
    end
  end

  foo # => ['bar', 'baz']
silence_warnings() {|| ...}

Sets $VERBOSE to nil for the duration of the block and back to its original value afterwards. 

  silence_warnings do
    value = noisy_call # no warning voiced
  end

  noisy_call # warning voiced
