Is struct not a hard scope?

julia> b = 1
       struct Tester
           tester
           Tester(tester) = new(tester)
           b = 2
           Tester() = new(b)
       end
       b
1

Good catch. struct does indeed appear to be a hard scope based on this result and also how it lowers.

It is worth noting that assignments within structs are not well supported

julia> struct Tester
           b = 2
           Tester() = new(b)
       end
ERROR: syntax: "b = 2" inside type definition is reserved around REPL[1]:1
Stacktrace:
 [1] top-level scope
   @ REPL[1]:1

It is worth noting that assignments within structs are not well supported

This is going off-topic, but the docs would benefit from more clearly defining this.
For example, why is the following allowed, but your example not.

struct Tester
    begin end
    b = 2
    Tester() = new(b)
end
