I'm sorry but the goal of this proposal is not abstract, but very very very 
concrete:

        let x: Int
        f { x = 1 }
        // use x without compiler error

If you break this (and you do), you miss the point entirely.

You are describing another proposal. Please please please please don't pollute 
this one.
