Also that was just an example. Another along the same line:

  x = 42 if y > 7;

Rather than

  x = match y > 7 { true => 42, false => 0 };

Or even:

  foo() if bar();

Rather than:

  if bar() { foo() }

Given how crucially important scopes are to Rust, this would be a uniquely poor fit. :P

Yeah, I totally understand why not. Just my comments from the peanut gallery :)
