"LiveCode Infinity": lexically-scoped variables and bytecode blocks

[Monte Goulding]

What I think we could do which I personally feel would be a bug fix is if a variable is declared with an initial value then reassign it if we iterate over the local command again.

For example:

repeat 
    local tIndex = 1
    -- tIndex is always 1 here
    repeat
        add 1 to tIndex
    end repeat
end repeat
