1.3 Do block

A KC3 do block is a source code block. It starts with do or { and ends with end or } respectively. It can be passed to a special operator or macro function to be evaluated explicitly in C with env_eval_do_block (see libkc3/env_eval.c).

A block evaluates all its instructions in turn, and returns the value of the last expression.
