I think being able to spork a block of code like this:<div><br></div><div>spork ~ {</div><div>// some code</div><div>}</div><div><br></div><div>spork ~ {</div><div>// some other code</div><div>}</div><div><br></div><div>would, to a lesser but still helpful degree, alleviate the issues this proposal is trying to address. It also has the benefit of recombining existing syntax rather than introducing new syntax. </div>
