[REBOL] Re: Please help me out

I don't know much about computer science, but I think REBOL's blocks share
some things in common with Smalltalk:

REBOL's cool twist is that a block can hold code or data and treat them both
equally/interchangeably, and can be accessed in a uniform manner (a data
collection).
In LISPy languages, the term 'thunk' might be the appropriate comparison.
