 Local Variables
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
-* Variables should be declared at the start of a block of code rather than in the middle.
-  The exception to this is when the variable is ``const`` in which case the declaration must be at the point of first use/assignment.
-  Declaring variable inside a for loop is OK.
 * When declaring variables in functions, multiple variables per line are OK.
   However, if multiple declarations would cause the line to exceed a reasonable line length, begin a new set of declarations on the next line rather than using a line continuation.
 * Be careful to not obfuscate the code by initializing variables in the declarations, only the last variable on a line should be initialized.
   If multiple variables are to be initialized when defined, put one per line.
-* Do not use function calls in initializers, except for ``const`` variables.
