+1 on Donn's proposal: much easier to understand with a drawing indeed
(thanks Katie!).
For the math, I'll just stick with the "ensemble (ou point) de
discontinuites d'une fonction complexe" so to avoid confusions... :)
Cheers,

Hi Folks,
+1 to branch point.
Branch point has the minor disadvantage that every time we see this, us
math major's will think of complex analysis branch points and branch
cuts (for those of you who are both non-math people and masochists:
<http://mathworld.wolfram.com/BranchCut.html> and
<http://mathworld.wolfram.com/BranchPoint.html> ).
I'm sure I can get over that. :)
Sincerely,
Jeffrey
Combining other's suggestions, I think the term "branch point" captures
the idea best. So I vote for BranchPointBlock and BranchBlock, as
illustrated by hacking Katie's ascii art:

Pardon the terrible ascii art here, but it helps me to have a picture:
Ascii art is easy to hack!
