Thats true, but its not exactly what I meant.
I mean that its still adding corner cases to a simple construct. Corner
cases make C++ the headache it is, but I am sure that each addition
looked really small at the time.
Ironically the declaration-in-for-statement is not really that important
in D thanks to foreach.
Its trivial though so I will withdraw my complaint.
Cheers.
