You can use lambda expressions that you immediately apply, as in:

    (fun ()-> ... end)()

and perhaps define macros that use such lambdas:

-define(let(X, Y, Z), ((fun (X)-> Z end)(Y))).

There is of course a small cost for the lambda application, but you
might be able to get rid of most of that by using -compile(inline).
