This (with real block closures) is a recurring request. It has been canonized into an official project, but no one on the list of interested parties has stepped forward to suggest a plan of action.
See the Squeak Central projects list at...
http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak.797
....and add yourself or make suggestions if you are (seriously) interested.

PS: Squeak Central is away at camp for the next three days. This may mean you'll hear nothing from us,or maybe a lot but, in any case, that's the reason.
