Well, not just auto, you just want to be able to make a declaration inside the
switch expression. This would also apply to a while statement too.

In C++, this is legal:

//----
    while (int i = 1)
    {}

    switch (int i = 1)
    {}
//----

This is a very reduced use case, but I've seen cases where it is useful.

The D grammar does not allow it though. I don't see why not though.
