Since the guys that made C++ and the standard for C++ were presumably smart
enough not to make the grammar ambiguous, I expect the scope op must be
preceded by whitespace to act as global scope, so A::B::C will be treated
as C, in the scope of B, which is in the scope of A. In that case the code
you posted should explode with an undefined reference error if you try to
compile it.
