Local Variable Type Inference - prototype

[Remi Forax]

Hi Maurizio, hi all,
currently, this compiles

public class VarTest {
  var x = 3;
  static final var FOO = 3;
}

while i don't care too much about being able to declare final static field with var,
being able to declare instance field with var is plainly wrong for me
(and out of the scope of this JEP).
