Comment (by anonymous):

 I found this thread when trying to solve my many warnings issued by the
 inclusion of boost in my code.

 I strongly disagree with, or even appalled by Steven's and Eric's
 comments. Reusing the same name for another variable is just asking for
 problems - even if you change the scope to a deeper level. It also makes
 the code harder to debug and understand.
