In Squid-2 the base language level is C89 (aka ANSI-C), which means that
variables must be declared at the start of a block {}.

Squid-3 uses C++ where variables may be declared inline where needed.
There is no supported C++ compiler requiring variables to be declared at
the beginning of a block like for Squid-2. But for code shared between
the two (and the C parts) it's good if this policy is still followed..

C99 inherits this language improvement from C++, but the old Visual
Studio compiler Guido uses does not support this..
