But an if statement does not introduce new scope, correct?
Something weird/unexpected does seem to be going on here:
julia> VERSION
v"0.5.0-dev+1491"
julia> if true
using Compat
println("Using")
foreach(println, 1:3)
end
Using
1
2
3
julia> if true
using Compat
println("Using")
for i=1:3
println(i)
end
end
ERROR: error compiling anonymous: unsupported or misplaced expression
"using" in function anonymous
