If you define two objects, both called "p3", with different types,
in nested scopes, then you've got serious problems even if you
don't mix declarations and statements. So don't do that.

No, nobody thinks that. A lot of people think it's OK to declare
names in non-arbitrary expected places that don't happen to be at
the top of a block.
