Sorry for the delay.

I feel forbidding user taking address of captured variable is too restrictive and make blocks less useful.

A block is quite like a normal function with a generic pointer argument. Users take the responsibility to make sure the cast of a generic pointer to private or global address space is valid at runtime.

I am more inclined to the alternative approach, i.e., assuming captures are located in the generic AS implicitly.
