I'm surprised it is considered the last expression of a block. Unlike with {} using $()? will still
allow variables defined inside this as if they were outside of it. Also I can't reproduce this
behavior with:

macro_rules! foo {
($($a:expr)?) => {
$($a)?
bar();
}
}

fn main() {
foo!(());
}

Is there something I'm missing?
