I have method call, but I get warning: ... interpreted as method call!

The code works, I just get this warning:

./vcard.rb:246: warning: each_with (…) interpreted as method call

but, I don’t know how to make my method calls look any more like a
method call than they already do!

What’s going on?

# Calls block once for each field for which +cond+ is true.
def each_with(block, &cond) # :yields: field
  @fields.each { |field| if cond.call(field); block.call(field); end }
end

# Calls block once for each field named +name+.
def each_with_name(name, &block) # :yields: field
  each_with (block) { |field| field.name?(name) }   <----------- causes a warning, but why?
end

Thanks,
Sam

My first guess (untested) is that it’s the space
before the parens that is causing the parser to
do a doubletake.
