Given that we've introduced the concept of "if" having a return status:

  my $result = if ($a) { $a } else { $b };

Would that then imply that

    sub blah {
      ...              # 1
      return if $a;    # 2
      ...              # 3
    }
...would return $a if $a was true, and fall through to (3) if it was 
false?

That's illegal anyway.  Can't chain statement modifiers :-)
Will be able to.
I was under the strong impression that Larry had decided that syntactic 
ambiguities prevented this from happening.  (Now, of course, you will 
ask me for a cite to the thread, which I can't even begin to find at 
this point...)
