--- Comment #1 from Mike Kaganski <mikekaganski at hotmail.com> ---
This is not specific to one-line If. In the code of comment 0, Test_IfIsClosed
only tests the k variable that gets Dim'ed in "true" branch; but trying to
MsgBox j there instead of MsgBox k also gives the same "Variable not defined."
run-time error.

But I am unsure that the "Expected Results" from comment 0 ("Dim or ReDim
should be executed") are correct. Dim is not a run-time operator - it is
compile-time instruction. It should, naturally, be effective regardless of
conditions; but in fact, the line

> If False Then Dim i%

should be syntax error (since it's equal to this *incomplete* run-time
instruction: "If False Then"). It *is* syntax error in, say, VBA (tested in
Excel 2016).

Alternatively, it should be tolerated in non-VBA mode (to keep backward
compatibility with strange StarBasic code using it?), and then the "Expected
Results" is OK (but should be made syntax error in "Option VBASupport 1" mode).
