And such "slinging" can be *so* satisfying.  I would really enjoy
"slinging" some unevaluated, unnamed code blocks around in Python when, for
example, I want to write GUI code like:

window.showBusyCursorDuring():
    window.showStatusDuring(msg='Verifying search conditions'):
        searchForm.verify()
    window.showStatusDuring(msg='Executing query'):
        resultSet = searchForm.executeQuery()
