 In ticket:14052, we reverted Phab:D2447, then ticket:11547 exists in HEAD
 again. In ticket:14052#comment:25 and ticket:14052#comment:10, we decide
 that shadowed variables shouldn't be keep at all. This ticket is created
 to track the idea.

 The same error of ticket:11547 was also reported in
 ticket:14996#comment:2,

 NB: input "1" twice to create shadowed context is necessary to reproduce
 this bug.
