expression and statements in Java

Would it be good to allow me to write either:

<cond> ? <code1> : <code2>

or

if(<cond>) then <code1> else <code2>

without forcing me to commit to which context this piece of code will
appear: i.e., expression or statement.

Normally you will choose one or the other, but when you generate code,
sometimes you just don't know.

Now I miss functional lang.

Suggestions? thanks,
