That's really nice.

yeah, there were a few "emergent" cases like this where I felt like the compiler
was outsmarting me =). Actually thought it was a bug at first before noticing
the assignment to a :)

     core.print(a);
   }

this is the one case that's now worse (multiple variables, last one used to be
treated specially)

+      _[core.$length] = 2;
+      _[core.$add](a);
+      return _;
+    })(new core.List.from([]));
     core.print(b);

   // Function test_VariableDeclaration_first: () → void
   function test_VariableDeclaration_first() {
     let a = ((_) => {
       _[core.$length] = 2;
       _[core.$add](3);
       return _;
     })(new core.List.from([])), b = 2;
     core.print(a);
