In fact, if you're going to bring in a scope to represent a 
namespace, that's what it needs to be a (singular) scope. Not to 
bring in many identical but distinct scopes.

The present design is falling between two stools. They are to do 
the above or to just link mangled according to the namespace with 
no scope special C++ derived scope(s).
