switch ( Expression ) ScopeStatement

Derek Parnell:
> is valid syntax! Why is that?

To allow train-wrecks like this one:

version(Tango) import tango.stdc.stdio;
void main(char[][] args) {
  if (args.length > 1)
    switch (args[1]) {
      int x = 1; // This initialization to 1 doesn't happen,
                 // it's the same as int x = void;
      case "1": printf("1! x=%d\n", x); break;
      case "2": printf("2! x=%d\n", x); break;
    }
}

Bye,
