It bothers me that we are going out of our way to deprecate valid C constructs
in favor of placing the declarations elsewhere.

As current compiler warnings would catch any reference before initialization
usage anyway, it seems like we are letting a compiler warning rather than the
language standard dictate syntax.

Certainly if we want to make it a best practice coding style issue we can, and
then an appropriate note explaining why should be added to
Documentation/process/coding-style.rst.
