[Bug c++/18093] New: bogus conflict in namespace aliasing

[boris at kolpackov dot net]

$ cat >test.cxx 
namespace m
{
  namespace n
  {
  }
}

namespace n
{
}

namespace o
{
  namespace n = ::m::n;
}

$ g++-3.4 test.cxx 
test.cxx:14: error: declaration of `namespace n' conflicts with
test.cxx:9: error: previous declaration of `namespace n' here

BTW, this bug in combination with #16468 (
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16468 ) makes any non-trivial use of
c++ namespaces in g++ 3.4, well, really non-trivial. Good job. Cheers!
