If the name of the variable has been overridden, then you can not refer
to the object directly.  This is the same case as

    int i;
    {
      int i;
      i = 1; /* Refers to inner 'i', not outer one.  The outer 'i' is
                hidden.  */
    }

Of course you could use a pointer, pass a parameter to the inner
function, etc.
