A language change sounds excessive for something that simple 
blocks could fix:

int getInt()
{
     return 11;
}

void main()
{
     {
         int n = getInt();
         if (n > 10) // OK
         {
             //...
         }
     }
     {
         int n = getInt(); ++n;
         if (n > 10) // OK
         {
             //...
         }
     }
     {
         int n = getInt();
         if (getInt() > 10) // OK
         {
             //...
         }
     }
}

Been doing this in C++ for a while actually.
