this reminds me of paul and byron's shell, es which had
anonymous blocks.  in fact, that's how the if statement
worked.

in c, i don't see why such a bolt-on would be useful in
c, especially since your concurrent fifo would be limited
to one shared-memory node unless you're going to add a runtime
compiler.
