Not in the least. "soon" is also a gross overstatement.

What's the size/difficulty of compiler spotting this? Suppose it needs
to be able to 'look ahead' by few statements - which I'd thought it
does already to some extent.
It's not about parsing. The code will be parsed the same nevertheless.
It would be a optimization on the resulting node tree however after the
function was parsed and before the code is generated.
