I like yours, too...

Yours is far less invasive into the language. The trade-off is it doesn't give you cheap local variable creation, which was my primary motivation.

True. What about ehird's variation (from the same thread)? It's a little more complex but should accomplish what you're looking for, since all the work is done at read time. Didn't try it tho, so give it a spin and let us know ^_^

Well, pretty much any solution involving a macro isn't going to do what I want. By necessity, calling a macro requires parentheses and a token. My solution just changes two parentheses to curly braces and requires no extra tokens. It will always be more lightweight than any macro solution. That's the main goal of my feature.
