In Hi, the distinction between objects and functions is eliminated. Both concepts are unified into a single, foundational structure: the **Block** (\`{}\`). A Block is a sequence of expressions that can hold data, executable code, or both, making it a powerful tool for building complex structures.
### As a Data Structure (Object)
When a Block contains primarily named declarations (\`key: value\`), it behaves like a traditional object or dictionary. A \`#\` prefix denotes a private property. To support code golfing, expression separators are flexible:
- **Newlines** act as separators. Commas or semicolons are optional.
- **Commas (\`,\`) or semicolons (\`;\`)** must be used to separate expressions on the same line.

### As Executable Code (Function)
When a Block is defined with parameters (\`()\`) or invoked, it behaves like a function. It executes its sequence of expressions.
