Hello,

I was surprised that these seem to not be allowed in D:

void main ()
{
  auto a = 20 ;

  {
    auto a = 30 ;
  }
}

void main ()
{
  { int f0 () { return 10 ; } }

  { int f0 () { return 20 ; } }
}

Perhaps I missed something in the FAQ.

Is there anywhere (manual or TDPL) I can read up on this language design decision? What other contemporary (or classic) languages feature this behaviour? Scheme and C both allow the above.

It seems like this would be something that might be nice for certain shops to enforce via a compiler switch, but not on by default.

Ed
