This also doesn't do what you think.  There *still* is no 
definition for the assembly-level symbol "BAR".  You have
introduced a definition for "BAR.0".

No, this is not what I mean.  The alias is, for better or 
worse, defined at the assembly level, not the source language
level.  This affects C++ significantly more than C due to
name mangling.
