Then again, putting all the variable declarations at the top of the

This is considered bad style in most modern languages. In fact, it is
forbidden in some. The idea isn't to move the initialization up to the
top, but to move the variable declaration down to where it is first
assigned. You don't ever declare variables without giving them their
initial value.
C# is kind of enough to consider use before initialization to be a static
compilation error. Most other languages just consider it a warning.
I still think something like:
auto foo = new LongArduousType(...);
is much cleaner.
