[Bug c++/17628] New: Error message gives inadequate info (quality of implementation)

[igodard at pacbell dot net]

This is a quality of oomplementation issue, not a correctness issue:

class i;
namespace n{int i;};
using n::i;
int main() {return i;}

gets you:
~/ootbc/members/src$ c++ foo.cc
foo.cc:3: error: `i' is already declared in this scope

Which is somewhat annoying when the conflicting declaration is buried in an
include stack. The message should (as most such messages do) give the location
of the conflicting declaration.
