Neither in itself. I'm looking for a way to refer to scopes
programmatically. I'm also asking if they are continuations, or blocks,
or coderefs, or are those all the same?

The two things you mention are effects of being able to refer to scopes
in such a fashion. I do want both, but the real question isn't if they
are possible, but about what blocks, coderefs and scopes are.

I'm sorry if I was unclear. I probably should have spent more time
writing the post. :)
