I think it is actually kinda pretty:

auto x =   (condition_1) ? 1
          : (condition_2) ? 2
          : (condition_3) ? 3
          : 4;

auto x = {
       auto ys = foo();
       return ys.map(...).filter(...).exists(...);
}();


Before you get too worried about the (), I'd point out that this 
is a very common pattern in Javascript (for like everything...) 
and while everybody hates JS, most every uses it too; this patten 
is good enough for usefulness.

(or for that you could prolly just write foo().map()... directly 
but i get your point)
