1. I think that the pattern should never be accepted, so the very 
first example, the one at the global scope, must be an error.
2. There's no shadowing as long as you can disambiguate, using a 
qual chain (or even the global scope operator), the right decl. 
to use.

Let's look at the other proglangs... C is permissive, C++ is not 
(unless -fpermissive).
