While the same effect can be achieved with closures, I actually strongly support this! It's an inconvenience to have to declare objects outside all the time to avoid unnecessary allocations. I have made a new topic for a syntax inside expressions, and have included this as an extension. Similarly to classes, I've made static variables accessible outside as a simple accessor on the function. Let me know what you think. ([my proposal](https://es.discourse.group/t/static-expr-syntax/1673))
