I don't see how the compiler could know when someone intended to use the
old rules? So how could it know which 'case' this example is? 

 Until someone implements the DWIM directive ;-0.

 So though I did not even know about the 'old rules' I would agree with
Scott (me22) that as long as someone might have learned the old rules,
and come back from not programming c++ for a while, a warning for this
is not a bad idea.

I also would have been told by my teachers that this is poor and
errorprone style, opinions may differ, I don't even like declaring loop
variables inside the for() .. Because I use c mostly ..
