I confess I didn't pay attention to that, but it shouldn't be a problem, as the
C++ standard is pretty clear about what should happen in this situation: The
scope of any variable declared in a `for` statement is limited to that `for`
statement.

If I remember correctly, in old versions of MSVC the scope of such variables
would continue after the loop, but modern versions are standard-compliant by
default.


But yes, it might be prettier to rename that variable to `n` instead.
