This case would *never* be allowed, because there is no name for the blocks 
here. You'd have to give the block and loop a name for this to be 
meaningful. But it simply isn't worth the hassle -- don't modern IDEs allow 
collapsing the code in cases like this? (I don't know, I've never used a 
modern IDE beyond a few accidental openings of GPS. If they don't, why even 
bother with an IDE?)
