Just MHO, but I consider this syntactic sugar, not a fundamental feature that fits the goal of Swift 4 stage 2.  

I’m also pretty opposed to doing it at any time.  The rationale of “implicit return” in closures is specifically because they are limited to a single expression, which makes the semantics “obvious”.  This was carefully considered.
