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

Apparently not.

But one thing occurs to me... you can break (or jump) out of a statement
expression:

  for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
      printf("%d\n", ({ if (i > 5) break; i; }));

You can't do this with a lambda or nested function.
