VI4 (BC) has such a prim.  Actually, it just uses the block #value prim.
 The do-it method is wrapped in a BlockClosure and then executed.

By the way, I will be coming out with a simplified compiler and
decompiler for VI4, probably next week.  I said I was going to release
this by the end of June.  Sorry its late.
