Unlike regular variable declarations, a short variable declaration may redeclare variables provided they
were originally declared earlier in the same block with the same type, and at
least one of the non-<a href="#Blank_identifier">blank</a> variables is new. As a consequence, redeclaration
can only appear in a multi-variable short declaration.
Redeclaration does not introduce a new
variable; it just assigns a new value to the original.
