They should repurpose `do` so that `do {}` (without the `while`) is an expression that you can put statements inside and return the last statement.

It would be great if we had expression if..else too (instead of just the tertiary operator)

There's a proposal for precisely that. Unfortunately, only Stage 1 though.
