Ugh, yeah, that makes the code example valid but only by writing it in a
way that would make no sense in real code.

I always had trouble with the POD test stuff that checks the syntax of
the embedded code because it requires things like declaration of
variables, but a real code excerpt from a running program isn't going to
declare variables directly above the call.
