Passing var to method which takes multiple arguments generates erroneous code

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

method foo(x, y) {
}

method main() {
  var x = 0;
  foo(x, 0);
}

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

This program compiles just fine but the generated Java source contains an 
error: "Cannot refer to a non-final variable x inside an inner class 
defined in a different method".
Changing the declaration of x from "var" to "val" fixes the problem 
because x is then declared final in the Java source. It is important that 
the method takes multiple arguments, it works flawlessly with just one.

Yes, this should work and it needs to be fixed.

Can be solved in a clean way using the new scoping system.
