This is easy to rewrite currently, and it's not even more characters:

=> *auto It = Cont.find(42);* return (It == Cont.end()) ? 0 : It->second;

Or, if you really need It to be in its own scope, perhaps because of some
other It:

=> { *auto It = *Cont.find*(42)**;* return (It == Cont.end()) ? 0 :
It->second; }

And that's on top of all the lambda responses already on this thread.
