  # The way the ruby parser presents a call with a block is by wrapping the
  # whole thing in a :block scope. It includes the send and the block definition.
  #
  # A block is in essence quite like a method, so the block definition is like a
  # method definition, except it is not bound to the class direcly, but the enclosing
  # method. The enclosing method also provides the scope.
  class BlockStatement < Statement
    attr_reader :send ,  :args , :body

    def initialize( send , args , body )
      @send , @args , @body = send , args , body
      raise "no bod" unless @body
    end

    # In Vool we "hoist" the block definition through a local assignment, much
    # as we would other complex args (bit like in the Normalizer)
    # The block is then passed as a normal variable to the send. In other words, the
    # BlockStatement resolves to a list of Statements, the last of which is the send
    #
