[Nickle] Scope for condition of do while

[Carl Worth]

Should this be a legitimate thing to do?

    do {
        putchar (int c = getc (socket));
    } while (c != '.');

That is, should the while condition share scope with the block above
even though it's syntactically outside?

Keith whipped up a special-case implementation of this, but he's
definitely not sure that it's not a horrible idea. He's planning to
cogitate a bit more, so I'm just sending this to remind him to type
his thoughts at some point, and also to solicit any other thoughts
others might have.
