- In what sense do they become reserved? I see no problem with reserving
- ::fcnName() but I have difficulty accepting the idea that Class::fcnName()
- is reserved as well.

- All well and good but I've seen some compilers (Microsoft's among them)
- that, with certain optimizations turned on, reserve the function name
- anyway even though its corresponding header has not been included. (I
- don't know if this applies to MSC 7.0 since I haven't played with it yet
- but it was certainly the case with 6.0).
