This seems like a legitimate place for saying what you intend, viz:
for (my $n is longlasting = 0, $m = 1; ...) {...}
Albeit that's a lame example of how to do it.

It would be nice if there were some easy way to mimic the Perl5 behavior
in Perl6. In Perl6, the canonical way to make a variable local to a block
is by making it a parameter. I therefore suggest allowing the following
syntax:
loop 0 - $n; $n 10; ++$n {...}
