Re: how to call blocks?

Blocks aren't activatable by default, therefore you need to pass a "call" message to them. I.e., in your example, call v like this:

v call

If you make blocks activatable, by sending the setIsActivatable(true) message to them such like this:

v b := block("block println") setIsActivatable(true)

Or at any point in their life, from that point on they can be called just like methods; by name.
