r=me. I'm shocked at how simple this patch is.

This is fine as an explanation for a spec-aware individual, but I don't think it's clear enough as a user-facing error message.
How about something like "cannot appear in a single-line control flow body"?

Yeah, I've changed this to `Cannot use lexical declaration in single-statement context.`
