I don't have experience of too many other languages, but in C++ (and I
guess C)...
for (int i=0; i<10; ++i)
{
doStuff(i);
}
doStuff(i); // Error
int i;
for (i=0; i<10;++i)
{
doStuff(i);
}
doStuff(i); // No error
That's the behaviour I was expecting.
Is the Python behaviour just a happy side effect of the target list
assignment or specific design decision?
