The following being as example of the current use of if statements with declarations: if(int* weDontPollute = someFunc()) { // use weDontPollute } That's great and all, but it only works by checking if the variable evaluates to true or false. Which is fine for a pointer but otherwise useless for anything else, like integers where zero is usually valid input (index for array).This is already possible in library code.

Not worth the IFTI-induced template bloat IMHO.
