That's occasionally quite useful. You can create a variable which
shadows another, and reference the original in its initialization, as
a simple means of mocking for debug:

//Maybe a global, or at least at wider scope
string separator="whatever... maybe pulled from a MIME document";
...
{
    string separator="** DEBUG **"+separator+"** DEBUG **";
    ...
    code using separator
    ...
}

You can comment or uncomment the debug line, and everything inside the
braces will be affected by its alteration - but nothing outside them
will, because it's shadowed and not altered. Can be extremely handy.
