If you need to "reduce the scope of variables", your routines are too long to
begin with.
If of course you write routines of several hundreds of lines (or thousands),
then you probably would need to have such a feature.
But I would fire any programmer that writes such code anyway, since it
indicates he cannot think structured.
And I'd fire any programmer that doesn't properly scope their variables,
just as you'd (hopefully) fire a programmer for using global instead of
function level variables.
Exactly: I do scope them. I make small routines.
Reducing scope to 5 lines in a routine of 20 lines is a waste of time.
