In message <200104281536.f3SFaHJ30047@green.bikeshed.org> "Brian F. Feldman" writes: : What was the justification for disallowing usage of proper variable block : scoping? It makes the code harder to understand, many compilers (at one time) produce worse code and they violate the idea that you can look for the variables in one place. It is also easier to introduce shadow variables at inner scopes which mades the code harder to debug.
