I think it would be a good idea to have here a cross-reference to
"Blocks in Python".
Also, the 2 identical sentences about the objects not being preserved
across GDB releases should probably be replaced by just one sentence,
saying this for both types of blocks.
The documentation parts are OK with those changes.
Thanks.
