I don't want new syntax (I think I don't).

What I want is to be able to invoke a block of code repeatedly, within a
context, and in a pythonic way.

within closure():

do_this()
and_do_that()


If it can't be pythonic (clear to the reader), I'm not interested. It's
good enough as it is:

def block():

do_this()

do_that()

closure(block)

Cheers,
