If statements as expressions goes forward, we should look into
tweaking completion values.
IMHO, a code maintainer who sees
resource = ..., foo(resource)
would expect to be able to wrap the use of resource in a try finally thus
resource = ..., (try { foo(resource) } finally { release(resource) })
without changing the completion value of the expression.
