Because I don't necessarily want to use inline blocks.

Consider this. At a global scope, I have:

$textBlock = Proc.new { |cr,font,scale,x,y,text|
      cr.select_font(font, Cairo::FONT_WEIGHT_NORMAL, 
Cairo::FONT_SLANT_NORMAL)
      cr.scale_font(scale)
      cr.move_to(x, y).text_path(text)
}


later...

    cr.closed_path(cr, 'Sans', 140, 50, 230, 'rcairo', &$textBlock)
