Well, it may. I don't know. I don't really believe in declaring multiple variables on one line in normal circumstances anyway. However, it's definitely an inconsistency in the language, and I would be inclined to argue that it should be removed and TDPL errata-ed if it does mention this "feature." I don't see any real benefit of allowing this. - Jonathan M Davis
