It looks like the Ruby syntax here is broken.

Ruby implicit coercion

@apecox In this case, if you omit 0, you're forced to implement #+ in InvoiceValue::Entry. This because the loop don't have an initial value and tries to call #+ on all the entries.
Instead, with that explicit argument the VM tries to do 0.+(entry), that means a Fixnum with an InvoiceValue::Entry so asks to the last one to coerce itself, and the trick works.
So, there is a win in having that 0.

Thanks for the clarification. Was this syntax introduced recently? IIRC, my first attempt was written like your last example, but it didn't worked.
