--- Comment #13 from Basile-z <b2.temp@gmx.com> ---
It was not the case in the 2013 but 10 years later adding this feature is a failure to recognize the more general pattern: the VarDecl as used in this proposal could be a primary expression and should not be tied to specific statements.

1. First this was possible as IfStatement condition.
2. Then it was added as WhileStatement condition
3. Now it will be added as SwitchStatement condition
4. In the future someone will realize that
   - this is useful to deconstruct tuples
   - this is useful in AndEnExpression and OrOrExpression
   - this is useful in the CallExpression for the `out` parameters

etc. etc.

Making the new primary would fix that in one shot.
