New So it nests blocks
In your example, BLOCK_C is inside of BLOCK_B, and "some more code" is also in BLOCK_C (and hence in BLOCK_B).

Seems sane enough. I just wouldn't name any ENDs. :-)

(Logic that is nested deeply enough that removing the END statements seems like a big win has obvious problems - namely that it is nested too deeply for my sanity.)

Cheers,
Ben

New Breaks a coding practice of mine
I ALWAYS comment the ending brace of blocks.
So it would be natural for me to name the END statement.

Which means I am open to breakage if I ever miss a name.
