It only looks like a function call, but in fact it should be an _magic object_ that can on the call bind a name to an expression in the current local scope. I chose `this` because in my opinion it is easily perceived: `while this( name = expr ) > 0` can be readed as "While this name assigned to an expression is greater than zero do..." the same interpretation for `if` statement.
