Well , the reason that it would cost more than the benefits sounds reasonable!

The reason for asking was I was thinking along the lines of
Programming Languages like C,C++ & Java where local variables have
this feature.Also , sometimes such questions let you know some
intricacies which you would have missed all along.

Thanks for the replies:)
