I think you nailed it - there is apparently no (better) 
alternative currently. So it's down to discussing DIP or no, and 
if yes, what should it propose.

After reading what Dennis wrote, I think I agree that relaxing 
parenthesis requirements for `if` statements (and perhaps 
`while`/`switch`/`with` while on it) is a better way to go.

But while I agree that pursuing range pipelines is a good general 
diretion, sometimes it is just more practical to do stuff in the 
imperative way - the langauge should not discourage that.
