Right.  I guess the point I was going for was you can write faulty code 
and the condition expression might not be in scope.  Its just an error 
on the part of the programmer.

In Roberto's example, someone added a 'continue' to existing code that 
worked but now "until something-with-x" does not access the local as 
expected.  It seems like just another error on the part of the programmer.
