By the same token should the compiler complain about:

integer i
   i = find(x,y) -- i is now 32
   for j = 1 to 10 do
     for k = 1 to 10 do
       i=11
     end for
   end for
 
   ?i -- better be 32

If not, why one and not the other?

In my book both mistakes are equally easily made, found and fixed.
