### goto
~~~
goto jump_label.
jump_label::
a + b;
~~~
useful to make a block return
can i deprecate the ^^ operator?
~~~
[ 1 + 2. goto r. 3 + 4. r::]
~~~
goto must not cross the boundary of the block context.
~~~
this is invalid. cannot jump into a block from outside
and vice versa.
goto x.

How to evaluate a block type-safely?

~~~
the method value is a variadic method. and it is a primitive.
[ :a :b | a + b ](1, 20) <---- syntax sugar for [:a :b | a + b] value(1, 20).
[:(Integer)a :(Integer)b => Integer | a + b ] value("kkkk", 20)
-> the first argument violates the expected type.
-> argument types to a method is defined in the method signature.
-> but the block argument types are specified in the block itself.
-> so it doesn't seem natural to achieve type safety without treating 'value' specially.
-> create a shorthand expression for 'value' [:(Integer)a :(Integer)b => (Integer) | a + b ](1, 2)
-> ] followed by ( ===> shorthand expression for value.
-> it looks more sensible to treat this () specially
what looks better as a shorthand expression for block value?
[ :a :b | a + b ](10, 20)
[ 10 + 20 ]() // no arguments
[ :a :b | a + b ]->(10, 20). // -> cannot form a valid binary selector. must exclude it from binary selector patterns
[ 10 + 20 ]->() // if no arugments are required.
continuation?

a->()? block value?
| (Block)a |
a->()? block value?
