reused; i.e. the space is reserved for it once on the stack.
Note: Keep in mind that string objects store a pointer to the actual string

for i in 0..100:
let j = $i

I still wanted to test if that would even work. I confirm it does.
Good to know.

Con:
* unneeded handling/cost as compared to declaring outside of loop.

Pro:
* advantage for refactoring and ease of
Is it better to declare variables at the start of a proc, or closer to where
needed?
