It certainly isn't a good construct! As you say, it would make life a
bit confusing if proper Closures were introduced. The Parser/Encoder
ought to complain about it, just as it ought to complain about
	bogoMethod2
		self foo: [ :x | |y| x + y ].
		^y + 2.
but doesn't.  To be honest, it's probably not worth much effort to fix,
since we should have Closures soon. Shouldn't we?
