The outer found get's never explicitly assigned to, yet it's legal
and sane code because of the default initialization promise.
However, would the compiler bark, the shadowing would become obvious.
This is how block scoping must work for it to be useful. Imagine for
example code getting moved around. There's no reason for the compiler to
say anything about it.

erroneous:
var i int
if i != 0 {
} else {
}
Of course, Go promises to be well defined but it's still likely to make
no sense as i get's never explicitly assigned to.
