| In this example the error message mentions the wrong namespace: 
|  
|  
| namespace outer { namespace inner { void foo(); } } 
|  
| void outer::foo() 
| { 
| // error: `void outer::foo()' should have been declared inside `outer' 
| }

I don't understand this report.  As far as I can tell, the error
message is correct.  You cannot define something as being part of a
namespace (using a qualified-id)  if it wasn't previously declared
there.  You can perfectly have outer::foo and outer::inner::foo.
The compiler is not telepathic.
