Actually, although CBLOCK is certainly very useful for defining enumerated 
constants, I believe it was likely originally introduced as a convenient way 
to assign addresses to variables.

Remember, that in most early (absolute) assemblers, there is no 'typing' of 
expressions, and thus it is not possible to distinguish a memory address 
from any other constant. This was certainly true in the early 8080/Z80 
assemblers I used.
