Description Bruno Medeiros 2006-03-14 10:53:10 UTC 
The D Doc, in http://www.digitalmars.com/d/statement.html , says the following piece of code is invalid:

void func2() {
    int x;
    {
        int x;	// illegal, x is multiply defined in function scope
    }
}

However the code compiles fine. Is this a compiler error or Doc error? In other words is entity name shadowing valid or not? (IMO it should be valid)
