 		* Each of these may have zero or one placeholders
 
 	Other quick thoughts:
-	* Blocks must have at least one expression. This should be a parse error.
 	* `let`s with literal matching and word matching are easy. Parsing all the patterns comes later.
 	* The first conditional form to parse is `if` (b/c no patterns) (but it does have funny scoping!)
 	* Once I get this far, then it's time to wire up the interpreter (with hard-coded functions, and the beginning of static analysis)
