You wait for the house lights to come up. That's your ending signal.
As is often said in live theatre: "House lights, warmers, thank you
gentlemen, going off cans!" It still has an end marker.

Yes. Not everything's an expression; a block of code is not an
expression that returns a code object, and variable assignment is a
statement. Some day, I'd like to play around with a language where
everything's an expression and yet it doesn't look like LISP - just
for the fun of it. It probably won't be any more useful for real world
coding, but it'd be fun to tinker with.
