Re: syntaxic shugar proposition : generic do block

[askok@...]

PLEASE don't cut out essential information when quoting.

The last two messages are not containing what exactly was

 Keeping essential details within a mail thread is imho 
good manners, and helpful.  Isn't it?  :)

(sorry for mailing something without ANY technical 
essence; not my fault?)
