One more note: the source is compiled to singe bytecode stream at the
moment. Perhaps if the whole process was changed so each chunk of code
was compiled as separate piece of code it can help better block
handling. I mean, that if you have a script as described in your mail,
currently you get one NSByteCodes. It would be better if you got three:
one for the whole script (single method), and two for your blocks. The
"jump" bytecode should be ommited and the "copy block" should be
replaced by "use this or that block" instruction.
