As I first implied overly cutely, "block" is a heavily overloaded
word. So, while it sounds OK in context, it will confuse people
who aren't thinking about the context.

The other term with plenty of precedent in Java and elsewhere is
"Action". And seems not to have any odd overloadings.
I'd be OK with it.
