           Summary: Label causes scope to collapse into parent
           Product: D
           Version: 0.160
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: bugzilla at digitalmars.com

When using a label directly before an anonymous scope (set of curly brackets),
it causes the anonymous scope to behave as though its contents are declared in
the parent scope directly.  This causes variable names to collide should they
share the same name between child and parent:

void main(){
        uint foo;
        x:              
        {
                uint foo;
        }
}

test.d(5): declaration test.main.foo is already defined

Adding '{}' immediately after the label seems to be a viable workaround.
