Trying to put a finger on why I think this proposed new syntax looks ugly,
I would say that my biggest problem is that it blurs some of the visual
distictions between statements and expressions that I find helpful
for quickly locating the interesting parts of a piece of code.
I assume this has some parallel to list comprehensions that way,
but I fail to see the same blatant conceptual beauty in this proposal,
motivating the unfamiliar form.
