You misunderstand.  There "where" is not part of the expression but the
statement.  The above example would be a modified print statement, a
print...where statement, if you will.  Under this suggestion, there
would be modified versions of various simple statements.

This wouldn't be a problem parsing, of course, because "where" would be
a keyword.
