How would this make any sense, though? In the case of "range" I can see the confusion, but when you explicitly declare a variable and increment it for each iteration of the loop, the only way it can work is if there's one instance of the variable.
It's the disparity between how a human thinks and how a machine thinks. Systems languages tend to care less about humans think, which I prefer because humans don't have consistently defined logic.
I don't think so. As programmers, we have to think logically, and in this situation there really is no other logical way of thinking about how that code might work.
