If you’re willing to accept a little bit of extra syntax/ceremony, the `do` expressions proposal[1] is pretty much this (but it’s only stage 1 so who knows when/if it’ll land).

We often add promising TC39 proposals into Civet so people can experiment without waiting.

We've added https://github.com/tc39/proposal-pipeline-operator, a variant of https://github.com/tc39/proposal-pattern-matching, a variant of https://github.com/tc39/proposal-string-dedent and others.

Since our goal is to be 99% compatible with ES we'll need to accommodate any proposals that become standard and pick up anything TC39 leaves on the table (rest parameters in any position, etc.)

Nice! Wasn't aware of that at all.
