It is simply cleaner and for some people (including me) simpler to read.
Once the variable is gone, it's gone. No side effects possible...
It's certainly a matter of style but as a principle the scope of anything
should be as small as possible. This is like avoiding global variables.
If you have a large function, declaring all variables at the beginning
is like using "semi global" variables...
