Is there a natural way to have a multiple sentence block as the right side of an elvis operator? So far I can type only a single expression and if I add curly braces it is detected as a lambda. I have implemented Any?.orElse(block: () -> Nothing) which works for the purpose like a charm but then I wonder why there isn't anything like that in the language itself or the stdlib, maybe I am missing something?

expression ?: run {
    defaultValue
}
