The intention was to make clear that the macro expects a C code block
afterwards. See the later patches for some of the fun I add ... I see that
the _block suffix can be misread, but tbh I don't have any other ideas
that might properly convey what this thing is. The 2nd best I could think
of is do_subtest("name") similar to do {} while (). But that's not great
either.
