While on the topic, the another bug in this area is if a student defines the
same variable twice: it works interactively, yet the generated test-case
won't compile ("variable already declared").  I usually see this happen if
a student does a 'move-test-fixture-to-bench' twice, or moves two test
fixtures which shared some variable names.

(A fix to this problem might also resolve using the same variable-name when
declaring a variable in Codepad which already exists on the bench, resulting
in one shadowing the other (which seems unexpected, to me).)
