This is exactly the type of construct that I had in mind. A couple of
questions. Is code inside of a #{}:
- parsed and required to be syntacticly correct?
- does it still appear in emitted code?
- what happens when a goto tries to enter into this block
or a nested sub is invoked?
- will the optimizer spend time on this block?
