Do you think if statement as expression would be nice to have in D?

While I do agree that's more readable, I wonder if the OP was 
thinking more along the lines of this, which is what you can see 
in languages like F# where if statements are expressions:

```
auto number = 200;
auto myVar = if (type == "as-is") {
     return number;
} else {
     // Very complex algorithm
     number *= 2;
     number += 2;
     number /= 2;
     number = number > 300 ? 200 : 100;
     return number;
}
```

F# takes it a step further since pretty much everything is an 
expression, so you can even use pattern matching as an expression
