Ok, I can appreciate that.

Let me say I don't like adding "< >" in place of "| |".
I think it can all be solved with the semicolon as previously mentioned,
so instead of

{|a~,b~,c,d| ..... }

use

{|c,d;a,b| .... }

where the vars after the semicolon have the behavior I mentioned for the 
tilde counterpart (namely, new block vars having an initial value).
