Yeah, I was thinking that, but was somewhat ambivalent. But I definately like it better than anything else proposed so far.

I like that as well. My hat in the ring would be "brackets" or "bracketed statements", implying there is something before, after and in the middle.
Also not an acronym, and short.

And while we're on naming issues...

Regarding enter/exit versus enter/leave, I like the latter not only because of ASM history but that the two are the same length, making documentation cleaner in some cases.

ENTER:   blah blah
LEAVE:   blah blah

A minor item, but then I'm big on visual symmetry. ;-)
