Can't use using declaration but have to use block using statement

[johngardner58work]

This form of code using var serilog = new Serilog.LoggerConfiguration(); will complain about a missing ";" but compiles fine in Visual Studio. I have to change it to the statement block form: using(var serilog = new Serilog.LoggerConfiguration()) {...} for it to work in interactive. Since the declaration form is part of C# 12 shouldn't C# script support it also?

Which version of .NET Interactive are you using? (In a notebook, run the #!about magic command. ):

I've run into this before as well when trying to use a using declaration for an instance of IDbConnection. Not an expert, but it looks like this might be upstream in Rosyln. If I had to guess the implicit block/scope involved doesn't fit well into the script dialect's syntax tree.

Not what you were looking for, but these are the most closely related issues I came across

Yes, this issue should be opened on the Roslyn repo.
