No, it doesn't, and it would be _way_ less useful if it did, particularly with
regards to struct and class definitions. Take this code, for instance,
import std.stdio;
static if(true)
int var = 7;
else
string var = 12;
void main()
{
int i = var;
static if(is(typeof(var) == int))
int j = 22;
else
float j;
writeln(j);
}
It compiles just fine and prints 22. Both the static if at module-level and the
one in the function declare variables which are used outside of the static if
blocks. static if does _not_ create a new scope. And putting braces around the
static if bodies has no effect on the scoping either.
