> Currently during parsing a single (comma-separated) variable declaration is turned into multiple statements on the fly. If this occurs when such a statement is the single statement after an if/while/for, then only the first statement is picked up and the next is left dangling within the AST tree. For 'if' it becomes the else statement! while in the 'for/while' cases I think it is ignored. So, the following code doesn't work as expected:
> {code}
> int xNext = 0, yNext = 0
> if (false) int x = xNext++, y = yNext++
> assert xNext == 0 && yNext == 0
> if (true) int x = xNext++, y = yNext++
> assert xNext == 1 && yNext == 1
> {code}
> This is very much an edge case (what good is a declaration if you then have no block in which to use it?) but is still worth fixing.
