This has an approved ACP (cc @carbotaniuman), but wasn't implemented. Anyone interested? Adding one unstable function is one of the easiest ways to have a first PR!

Hi @scottmcm
I've been studying the rust compiler and I'd love to put in effort towards this.

How should I approach this?

@Shourya742 hi, as you can see I was interested in working on this issue.

Would it be alright if I claim this?

Great, you should add a new api for ControlFlow, probably here:

https://github.com/chenyukang/rust/blob/1a440d56d63458e4491f289c4950396f73304264/library/core/src/ops/control_flow.rs#L136

Don't forget the feature gate control_flow_into_value.

And read more details in rust-lang/libs-team#474 (comment) and https://std-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/
