The sole purpose of the block macro is to make defining multiline macros nicer 
with the function-line %{} block syntax. A multiline %{expand:...} is commonly 
abused for this purpose but it has side-effects.

Lets add one that doesn't: %{block:...} does exactly nothing but insert the 
macro body as-is, without having to resort to ugly \-line continuations.
