It seems one of those feature requests that pop up occaisionally, see

http://lua-users.org/wiki/StatementsInExpressions

But about the if statement:  the Lua Way is to write this so

local res = (a > 2) and x or y

which works because and/or return the matching value, not just a boolean.

(there is a problem if x were actually 'false')
