I know.
If you are reading this, please read to the end, because if you don't you won't know what's at the end. Don't just skip to the end though otherwise you won't be able to read the middle, which is most important. Now you must be wondering why you just read all that, the reason is you may have not noticed something, read it again and see if you notice it this time

We know. I was just pointing out that BYOB has a similar interface on some blocks to allow a variable number of arguments.

That's kind of off topic.

I don't think so; I was discussing a difficulty that might be encountered while implementing this and giving an example of where it has been done before. What's off topic about that?

Well, this is a suggestion for Scratch 2.0, not just a byob block. I want this to be usable everywhere.

I'm aware of that, otherwise this topic wouldn't be in this forum. I'm only mentioning a similar style of block argument extension already implemented in BYOB, and that such a thing is quite doable. This block has a feature that allows you to choose as many "if" spaces for new blocks, does it not?

Re: If, if, else Block
Instead lets have a SWITCH block.
___SWITCH (string)
|-CASE (string) (Button to add another case)
|-- CODE TO BE EXECUTED
|-DEFAULT
|-- CODE TO BE EXECUTED
_END OF BLOCK
ALright that's GOTTA be the crudest drawing of a scratch block, but I hope you get what I mean.
