I don't understand what's wrong with producing blocks?
Why would I produce blocks for e.g. assigning state object fields? It means that first you get instruction lists that you later have to iterate over again to figure out what to do with them. For example, for a matrix it's enough to simplify each element individually and then write them all together. Using blocks has an advantage of easily evaluating constant expressions, but then to write actual result for any type that's not a scalar, you'll have to sort of interpret such blocks. Then for strings, it will produce a string constant load, without string constants supported anywhere else.
