Oh, please.  We're not talking about a paradigm-changing feature
that would enable previously intractable use cases.  Your proposal
is equivalent to constructs that already exist.  Despite your evident
hatred for them, those constructs are simple enough that they are
surely *already* being used in the same way your proposal would be.
So it's entirely fair to ask what those current uses might be and
whether we think they merit syntactic sugar.

You cannot simply dismiss a question as invalid just because you
don't want to answer it.
