That's all the comma operator does. If it's not chaining expressions, it's not
the comma operator (e.g. variables declarations do _not_ use the comma
operator even though they can use commas).
There is a proposal to remove the comma operator, altering for loops so that
they explicitly support using commas like they currently do but otherwise
completely removing the comma operator:

That's one of the main reasons for the proposal, but nothing has been decided
yet.
