Hm, yes - though I wonder whether this might be an instance where it
would be more robust to use isa()
as it's not really possible to anticipate whether there might be other
elements added in the future that are both a block and a field, and
whether they'll be compatible with what you're trying to do?

I think I'll leave that for you to decide!
