Yes.  I guess my point is that it's much easier to reason about these 
things if there's a candidate implementation, so we know what it looks 
like.  Optimising it can come later.  That being said, I don't yet know 
enough about the internals to know how the existence of the block can 
affect the behaviour of the code - I could believe that it might 
interact badly with GC under certain conditions.

I really like the assert_ idea, though.
