Why not a compromise ?


Dim i as Integer   -> anywhere = illegal (just like now)


However cases like:

For i As Integer = 1 To 10

For Each aString as String in stringArray


Could be considered legal. That way we could have both worlds.

Variables could "only" be declared with a Dim in the declaration area. 
---> Clean Code (like now)

Control loop variables "could" be defined in place ---> Practical and 
also clean code.


Just an idea....
