This is incorrect according to the examples in the apocalypse:
if 1 { ...; break; }
die "panic: shouldn't see this";
The apocalypse implies that the new rule applies to "expression
blocks"--as opposed, I think, to statement blocks. As far as I
understand these terms, if always takes statement blocks, so this
rule does not apply.
Who can clear up the confusion?
