I don't know if this is a hard-fast rule, but my view of the shadowing 
error is that if you can access the variable, it's not shadowing.

You can access the global via .x

But in the following, there is no way to access the outer x:

void test()
{
    int x; // x1
    foreach(x; [1, 2, 3]) { /* how to access x1 here? */ }
}

Super members can also be accessed via scope naming: super.x
