is there a naming convention for such blocks. In the chapter I called them escaping block but I also used continuation blocks. (I do not like continuation blocks since to me it is unclear) but if this is a convention I would follow it.

Continuation blocks is wrong - continuations are a particular thing and this would be confusing.

Escaping blocks is fine, but I call them returning blocks. I could see an argument for either

I think these are "blocks with non-local return" :) (as opposed to blocks with "local return" like [:x :y| x*x. x + y]) Best -Tobias
