Block in Verse

Since Verse requires an identifier before a code block, block expressions are how you nest code blocks, and block expressions behave similarly to code blocks.

As with code blocks, block introduces a new nested scope body, constraining the lifetimes of any variables created in the block in a way that they cannot be used outside of the block.

Unless there is an early exit, the block expression uses the last expression executed in the block as its result. For example, if the last expression in the block is Example : int = 6 then the block expression has 6 as a result.
