void f()
{
  Object get() { return null; }
  if( auto a = get() )                {} // OK
  for( auto a = get(); a; a = get() ) {} // OK
  while( auto a = get() )             {} // Does not compile
}

autowhile.d(7): expression expected, not 'auto'
autowhile.d(7): found 'a' when expecting ')'
autowhile.d(7): found '=' instead of statement
autowhile.d(8): unrecognized declaration

This is clearly inconsistent, so logged as a bug and not an enhancement.
