Um, why?

I think it isn't quite what's needed, based on the observation that it makes
shifting from expression to statement context difficult enough that useful 
features
like blocks don't have a decent syntax.

On the other hand, it saves me an awful lot of hassle; it's one less thing
to have to get into my head.
