If I recall correctly, makeblock is for block allocation and is used to 
make empty blocks for everything that does not fit in just one integer.

The /<a number> is used to uniquely identify identifiers. In this example :

let x = 1 in let x = 2 in x

The /<a number> allows you to know which "let" variable is represented 
by the "x" at the end.
