I proposed this some one or two years ago. I got shut down, but I still find it
a good idea.
And I even have a semantic reason:
- A Block represents a piece of functionality that can be evaluated with some
input
- A Symbol often represents a selector which in turns represents a piece of
functionality that can be evaluated with some input.
I seem to recall there was discussion some time ago about splitting
Selector functionality from Symbol. After all, there's no real reason
that a selector /has/ to be a Symbol.
Also, some of the examples in this thread seem to be about terseness for
terseness sake.
