Nice, I didn't know the “method” key.

Blocks, in contrast to buffers, seem to be able to place content
before it is defined. I did not check how they work, but since I
didn't see any temporary files, the only possibility is to write the
data to the tuc file, I assume. It is by any chance possible to
provide a “method=block”?
