It doesn't appear to be spelled out anywhere in the language 
spec, but the rule is that two symbols in the same scope with the 
same name conflict unless they form an overload set. The rules 
for overload sets are laid out in the sections of the spec that 
deal with functions, templates, and aliases (iirc).
