Hi!

I don't know if this is the intended behaviour, but for the following code:

---------------------------------------------------------------------
module main;

void main() {
	for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {      // Line 4
	}
	for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
	}
	for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {      // Line 8
	}
}
---------------------------------------------------------------------

That is, the "i" variable is shown three times, even though the next two 
aren't visible yet. If you set a breakpoint in a next line, for example 
line 8, the "i" variable is also shown three times. I think one "i" 
should be shown always.

The problem is that I'm integrating ddbg in Descent, and in the 
varaibles view I use the "lsv" command, so the "i" variable appears 
three times. A hack would be, if a variable appears many times, send "= 
i" to the debugger and keep the one with that value, but... if it can be 
fixed in ddbg, much better.

DMD doesn't emit symbols for scopes below procedure level (bugzilla
#1201). therefore Ddbg can't tell which one is the right variable.
when evaluating an expression with an ambiguous identifier, Ddbg simply
chooses the first instance it comes across.

the last time i checked, MSVC had the same problem. although CodeView
provides a solution.
