I also thought this behavior was strange. I checked how Java works, and
surprinsigly, it works the same!
(see http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/third_edition/html/names.html#62587 for
a description or
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/third_edition/html/names.html#36191 for an
example)

But I still don't know what is the reason for it. Is there one, or did Java
just inherit C++'s mistake?
