The ability to declare a variable in the for loop was left out of one
preliminary version of the C++ reference manual, with the result that
some compilers implemented during that brief time frame do not allow 
declaration of the loop variable inside the for loop.  C++ compilers 
implemented before and after that time period do support declaration of
the loop variable inside the for statement.  Such use is
common within the C++ community, and supported by the current
working papers of the ANSI-C++ committee.
