And list comprehensions. They have a new nested scope, even though you
can't see the function call. Everywhere else that you see a 'for'
loop, it's exactly the same semantics as any other assignment - but if
it's inside square brackets, it's a special form of local name that
doesn't extend past the brackets. This would be the same - a hidden
function call that creates a nested scope.
