Issue ID: 21811
Summary: Unable to use IfCondition as expression in while
statement
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: regression
Priority: P1
Component: dmd
Assignee: nobody at puremagic.com

According to the language spec, a while loop takes an IfCondition as its
expression. IfConditions allow introducing a variable and assigning it but
this does not actually parse in the context of a WhileStatement. The
documentation for the WhileStatement explicitly mentions introducing a variable
with auto as subpoint #3.
