[S04] as several folks have suggested, rename "blorst" to "blast"
I'm curious about this change. I quickly figured out that "blorst" was
derived from "BLock OR STatement" (quoting the previous rev: "In fact,
most of these phasers will take either a block or a statement (known as
a I<blorst> in the vernacular)).
The best that I can figure for "blast" is "BLock And STatement", which
seems to me like a less-descriptive name. And "blast" is less likely to
google up the results I need.
So, what exactly _is_ the derivation of "blast"?
