Just to wrap this thread up, quoting myself from another thread:
"In any case, I won't push my proposal anymore."
----
But for posterity sake, wanted to make one last comment as to why the various
suggestions for IIFE's and arrow expressions are inappropriate for the task:
they change (hijack) the behavior of `return`, `break`, and `continue`. A
standalone block like `{ let x = 2; .. }` or `let (x = 2) { .. }` can be placed
anywhere, inside a function, loop, etc, and not hijack these types of
statements.
I'll be sticking with:
```js
{ let x = 42;
console.log("The meaning of JS: ", x);
}
```
Appreciate the various thoughtful responses.
