I think Perl did this pretty good. If you say "my $i" that declares
$i to have block scope, and it's considered good practice to do this,
but it's not required. You can say "for (my $i=0; $i < 5; $i++) { ... }"
and that gives $i the same scope as the for loop. Come to think of it
you can do something similar in C++.
