[Bug c++/30891] New: poor diagnostic

The code:
int main() {
int i = 0;
namespace foo {
int j = 0;
}
return 0;
}
gets you:
~/ootbc/sim$ g++ foo.cc
foo.cc: In function 'int main()':
foo.cc:3: error: expected primary-expression before 'namespace'
foo.cc:3: error: expected `;' before 'namespace'
In contrast, Comeau gives:
