They have different meanings all.

`xyz(&method(:symbol))` == `xyz {|x| symbol(x)}`
`xyz(&obj.method(:symbol))` == `xyz {|x| obj.symbol(x)}`
`xyz(&:symbol)` == `xyz {|x| x.symbol}`

Some another programming languages (even Java, in version 8) has a cool way to refer a method as a reference.

I wrote some examples here: https://gist.github.com/americodls/20981b2864d166eee8d231904303f24b

I miss this thing in ruby.

I would thinking if is possible some like this:

~~~
roots = [1, 4, 9].map &Math.method(:sqrt)
~~~

Could be like this:

~~~
roots = [1, 4, 9].map Math->method
~~~

What do you guys thinking about it?
