D - BUG: Duplicate variable names allowed inside if() block

This program goes through the compiler ok, although I believe it should
be a syntax error:

      if(true) {
        int bar;
      }
      return 0;
    }

It is legal, as { } introduces a new scope. -Walter

Oh, I thought that duplicate local variables weren't allowed in D. You've written it in the language specs: "It is an error to declare a local variable that hides another local variable in the same function"

I knew that used to be true in C/C++, but I thought that we were getting rid of that.
