Wouldn't the compiler be smart with this shadowing variable?

Besides it looks like an error, you may think that it just 
introduces a scope which can be referenced by the for-loop but 
this only works in the initialization section. See what happens 
if you want to do more steps at iteration for this fancy looking 
syntax:

```d
// iteration works, but scope behind does nothing
for({int i=0; j=0;} i<10; ++i, {++i; ++j;} ){}

// endless loop
for({int i=0; j=0;} i<10; {++i; ++j;} ){}
```

Not sure if bug or feature but it is inconsistent for me and thus 
a reason to avoid it.
