Not exactly.  There are things that can be done inside a
statement-expression that are not available inside nested
functions or lambdas.

And you're not going to tell us what those things are.

Let me add something to my last response.  I think you're doing
a disservice to the community by always explaining everything
in great detail.  Sometimes, sure;  perhaps even mostly.  But
not always.  People need to learn to think.  You must have heard
the proverb about giving a man a fish versus teaching a man to
fish.  You just keep doling out fish.  I want people to learn to
think so they can fish for themselves.

One difference between you and me is that I almost never respond
to a posting of yours that is part of a conversation with someone
else to complain about your answer.  And I don't engage in such
behavior even though I think that what you're doing is worse than
what I'm doing.  I'm fed up with your high and mighty attitude.
