1. Hiding a semantic "if" inside a "for"-loop syntax is not good, in my
book - in C++ I would have introduced a "returnIf"-macro to make the
intention clear in that case... ;-)
2. I was also thinking along the same line, but more like:
if(it = goo(); a>6 && it>10) { return it }
How does the return know what to return in your example, btw... ?-)
3. Would the "it" variable in the ClosureList move from term to term,
i.e. it would always reference the last term before the current one, or
always refernce the first ?
Cheers,

PS: The difference between
returnIf (goo(); a>6 && it>10)
and
returnIf (goo(), a>6 && it>10)
is of course miniscule, and maybe the second variety might actually be
less confusing... (?)

Hi mg,
I like your idea, but it's hard for IDE to infer the type of
`it` during we coding.
```
returnIf(a > 6 && it > 10) { goo() }
```
long time ago I made the suggestion of a ClosureList based on the
classic for: "(" expr (";" expr)+ ")". It got shot down very much for
being so ugly, but using that, we would get this:
```
returnIf (goo(); a>6 && it>10)
```
of course going crazy we could move this further:
```
for (goo(); a>6 && it>10;) {return}
```
or
```
for (goo(); a>6 && it>10; return)
```
