do while scope

[Glen Huang]

Not sure about others, but i assume the condition part and statement part in a control construct live in the same scope.

That's why you can do `for (let a = 1; a < 2; a++) a;`. And `if (let a = 1) a;` maybe in es7?

Why that's not the case for "do while"? Is my mental model wrong?
