that's not quite accurate.  consider the following, which makes the for loop
self-contained, and also happens to ENFORCE that the lifetime of "int i"
does not go past the for loop (which causes a separate problem, but the
problems are mutually exclusive).


{
for (int i; blah blah; blah blah)
    {
    blah blah
    }
}


just add the braces around it!  then copy-paste the outer braces as well.
