Jumping over initialization isn't as problematic in D because variables

And how is that supposed to work, when you just skipped that piece of code?
It's worse in languages like C where the value of variables would be
undefined.
It's *better* in languages like C, where the value of the variable would be
undefined anyway, so you'd have to deal with that anyway.
I would go as far as to say this is part of the reason this is in the spec:
"It is illegal for a GotoStatement to be used to skip initializations."[1]
