it's always a good advice to avoid polluting any space.  in this case, the outer local stack.  also, even if the same-named variables shouldn't be used unambiguously, closing each block eliminates the scopes' overlap and makes any possible error locally-obvious, even to the compiler, so you can get load-time errors.
