Is there a reason why you cannot create a separate scope within
a static foreach?
The below will not compile:
```
enum a = ["a" : "a", "b" : "b", "c" : "c"];
static foreach (k,v; a)
{
{
enum b = k;
enum c = v;
}
}
```
It works if it's in a function of course.
This creates a big limitation when you're trying to ex. loop
through members of inherited classes, interfaces etc. and then
want to store the information in variables, because you cannot
do it. Which means to work around it you have to do it all in
an ugly one-liner.
Is it intended behavior? If so, why? If not is there a
workaround until it can be fixed?
It's intended, but with the possibility to add special syntax for
local declarations in the future left open, as per:
