I think we all noticed that :) With the exception that blocks return the value of the last statement, and methods return self by default. I would love if you could make an explicit local return from a block too.

While implementing Redline Smalltalk it occurred to me that methods and blocks
are the same things, making the use of blocks to represent methods a possible
optimisation or simplification to the internal of any Smalltalk implementation.

For example,

at: key put: value
� <statements here>

Is not that different to:

at:put: [ :key :value | <statements here> ]

Just saying.
