It also makes for a fine replacement for the comma operator, because you can
use it anywhere you can use an expression.
I'd love a bit of syntactic sugar for the idiom, that would do the same thing
the Lisp LET does, transforming
let (x = a, y = b) { foo(x); bar(y); return quux(x, y); }
into
(x, y){ foo(x); bar(y); return quux(x, y); }(a, b)
automatically.
