I think the implicit question of ilya-stromberg was: how much
bug-prone is this language feature?

Yes, exactly. I personally was VERY surprised. My code example from real
life:

class Foo
{
}

class Bar
{
     Foo f;

     void bar()
     {
         //variable was wrongly commented here
         //bool f = true;

         if(f)
         {
             //Oops!
         }
     }
}

If uncommented that would make for a shadow definition error. In brief I think you'll have a hard time finding evidence that "if (p)" is dangerous.
