this reminds me of paul and byron's shell, es which had anonymous blocks. in fact, that's how the if statement worked. in c, i don't see why such a bolt-on would be useful in c, especially since your concurrent fifo would be limited to one shared-memory node unless you're going to add a runtime compiler. - erik
