Looking through those examples, I don't  see any cases where TCP-compliant do 
expressions are actually needed.  In the original arrow proposal, I believe all 
the code would be the same, except 10 or so occurrences of "=> do" would become 
just "=>".  These examples seem to support the simpler approach of the original 
arrow proposal.

Note that the => is what provides lexical this binding in the body.  The do 
expressions serve a separate purpose of changing the meaning of return (but not 
break and continue), and allowing use of completion results as returns (which 
tends to look a bit awkward in curly brace languages, and I don't believe was 
used in any of the examples linked above though it's hard to tell for sure due 
to completion value leak).
