OK - I just thought that you wanted the user to be able to identify
these blocks from the source code. The same way we do when doing

    (gdb) print FUNC::VAR

If you think people will be happy with an arbitrary block ID, then
indeed, that's easy (it's actually how task IDs are identified in
VxWorks, it's the address of the TCB).
