Hi Eric,

AFAIU exist considerable backsides when allowing this args-in-block-name.

As languages differ, you must write some translations for every lang somehow, i.e, re-invent it's
handling.

Also can't see a meta-languags than, it would mean address other languages from an Org dialect.

A major backside already visible it breaking the legibility of native languages code.
Org constructs are not easier to read than native lang, it's more difficult with that lined-up args lists.
