       Body:
Wow, OK. That feels slightly counter-intuitive (makes it kind of hard to reuse 
variable names).

However, you *are* the language designer, so I'll assume your judgement's 
better than mine. ;)

Here is an overview of the issue:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
        Key: BOO-251
    Summary: Local variables not falling out of scope properly.
       Type: Bug

     Status: Unassigned
   Priority: Major

 Original Estimate: Unknown
 Time Spent: Unknown
  Remaining: Unknown

    Project: Boo
 Components: 
             Compiler

   Assignee:

Environment: Latest Boo SVN. ;)

Description:
if true:
        kipper = 1
elif false:
        kipper = "FUTZ!"

Self-explainatory.

But, just to be redundant: kipper should have fallen out of scope once the "if" 
block ended, and so should be available as a variable name in the elif block.
