No, not at all. Again: With the comma operator, you can't use *statements*,
only expressions. With the `do` expression, you can use actual statements:
```js
const x = do {
for (const x of getTheThings()) {
if (x.id == something) {
x.foo;
}
}
};
```
...which is basically:
```js
const x = getTheThings().find(x => x.id == something).foo;
```
...except it doesn't throw if `find` returns `undefined`, and isn't a
series of function calls.
`do` expressions are basically to address overly-complex conditional
expressions and IIFEs.
