PHP version:      Irrelevant
Package:          Scripting Engine problem
Bug Type:         Feature/Change Request
Bug description:{} with Return Value

Description:
------------
It would be pretty cool if you were able to use { CodeHere; } as
Statement.

The Basic Idea behind this is like if the Code was a Function that had a
Return 

Statement. Its only a little inefficient because the Function might only be
used 

one Time, which means it would be useful to have such a Feature.



Examples are given in the TestScript

Test script:
---------------
<?php



  //1.

  if({

    $a = false;

    $b = true;

    return (time() % 2) && $b || $a;

  }) echo 'It equals to True';



  //2.

  mysql_connect(...) or {

    $file = fopen('ErrorLog', 'a+');

    ...;

    return die();

  };



  //3.

  $a = 12 + {

    return 2 * 2;

  };



?>

Expected result:
----------------
1. Depending on the Time echoing 'It equals to True';

2. When mysql_connect returns false that it evaluates the {}-Code

3. $a = 16;

Actual result:
--------------
Parse Error of course
