Declaring a new variable must be done at the beginning of a new scope in C.
Were not in C++ anymore Toto... :) The addition of the braces creates a
new scope and therefore makes the declaration valid. I do this all the time
in switch statements.

PS: now that I think of it, you can't do in in C++ either. The declaration
would be there in one case but not the others so what would the compiler do
after the switch?
