I dunno man, it seems all backwards to me. If you're gonna do it 
this way, then you'd also want your if-statements like this:

{
     foo();
     bar();
} if (cond);

Could you imagine trying to read a function you didn't write 
yourself if branches were written like that?

But more importantly IMO the order of execution should be 
reflected in the syntax. Even if you put the condition in the 
middle, it still gets executed first.
