    LOL What?

Allows you to write methods that contain mixed HTML and C# in Razor Views (.cshtml) / Razor Components (.razor) files.
This is a primitive for composing Razor code that is very low overhead / low concept. Your code calls your code.
In Views (not components): Can be async, can use tag helpers.
In Components (not views): Usage and semantics still need figuring out, but we want to build something like this.
Sample

<h1>Here is some info about people on the team</h1>

@foreach(var person in people)
{
    DisplayPerson(person);
}

@functions {
    void DisplayPerson(Person person)
    {
       @<div>
            <h3>
                @person.Name is @person.Age
            </h3>

            @if (DateTime.Now.DayOfYear == person.Birthday.DayOfYear)
            {
                <h4>Happy Birthday! @person.Name</h4>
            }
        </div>
    }

    Person[] people = new Person[]
    {
        new Person()
        {
            Name = "Ryan",
            Age = 33,
            Birthday = new DateTime(1985, 9, 9),
        },
        new Person()
        {
            Name = "Dan", // Not Dan Roth, some other guy. 
            Age = 53,
            Birthday = new DateTime(1965, 2, 3),
        },
    };

    public class Person
    {
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public int Age { get; set; }
        public DateTime BirthDay { get; set; }
    }
}

Is this W A V Y ? SPICY? Have you had cases where you wanted this? What would you add/change/remove?
