That makes no sense. Besides in the above fantasy, the result of the
"if" is the last thing evaluated in the block. In this case, the
block is a single "return" statement. Perhaps it would be clearer
thusly:
my $result = if ($a) { $b } else { $c }; # Same as ...
my $result = ($a) ?? $b :: $c; # ?

Of course, that's how it works :)
