/*
Bug: When I compile this source file the "javac" compiler gives me an error
that the variable 'f' is already defined in this method (Line 21) when I
think it shouldn't do that (variable shadowing! and 'f' in main() is not
final so anonymous classes can't access it anyway!). To be sure about that,
I recompiled this source file using Microsoft's "JVC" compiler and it didn't
generate any errors. And the 'java' VM was able to interpret it.
