Interesting.  What is the class of these objects that are blocks of
code?  (Thanks for the awesome example in [1].)

  In Smalltalk-80 (by the Blue Book) it might be "BlockContext", see:
  "Smalltalk-80, The Language and its Implementation" (1983) by Adele
  Goldberg and David Robson, Part Fourt, Chapter "The Implementation",
  Section "The Interpreter", side heading "Block Contexts":

|A "BlockContext" represents a block

  . Is "BlockContext" a class? In

|Class BlockContext

  in Part Fourt, Chapter "The Implementation", Section "Objects
  used by the Interpreter", side heading "Contexts", routine
  "initializeContextlndices", line 8 it seems to be called a class.

  However, since this detail is part of the implementation, some
  Smalltalk implementations might use a different class for blocks!
