The '_' isn't necessary for chaining expressions, as ',' would already suffice:
```
if (foo==2)
bar(),
bar2();
```
Also, '_' is already a valid expression/identifier.
While I'm not generally a fan of eliding braces from everything, I have
expressed interest in evaluating something like C#'s expression-bodied methods
for ECMAScript:
```
class C extends B {
constructor(arg) => super(arg, true);
toString() => `prop: ${this.prop}`;
get prop() => this.x + this.y;
}
```

Subject: Re: Optional Curly Braces in JavaScript
Update to the proposal:
Since we can't make spaces in JavaScript, the best we can do is use '_' instead.
We will also git rid of ':' after statement in the old version as '_' is enough
indication and it's more compatible with our current curly braces syntax.
Final result:
```
if (foo==2) _
bar() _
bar2()
```
Which is the same as:
```
if (foo==2)
_ bar();
_ bar2();
```
Basically `_` would allow chaining expressions inside a statement block.
Thank you,

Browsers (WPWG, not this group) tried WebSQL. It failed because there
wasn't a competitive bake-off with any other implementations _besides_
SQLite.
If a browser vendor had used another engine, then SQLite might've won
the bake-off and now you'd have what you describe.
