Glad to hear you're in favor! I'll be happy to co-champion. The const-initializer use case is a good one, but it's also extremely valuable for code generators (it's got a much stronger equivalence property, aka TCP, than `function(){}` or `()=>{}`). And more generally, it lets you more clearly localize temporary variables in a way that comma-expressions (which are ugly anyway) don't.
