#4024: W0631 false positive if a "else" clause is defining the loop variable [open]

#4024 - latest update on 2008/10/01, created on 2007/07/13 by Sylvain Thenault

not planned

The following code:

for x in []:
    pass
else:
    x = 3
print x

will cause W0631 (Using possibly undefined loop variable 'x') on the last line, even tho x is not "possibly undefined" ...
