How about going back to BCPL and allow *any* block to have a value that is
returned by "return" (or use the BCPL keyword "resultis")?

I have a question about C++: what is "cout << value"? I presume that's
supposed to print the value in an appropriate format, but I can't figure
why "cout". Why not "print value..."?
