   While the example given was contrived indeed, the same problem it raises   
   is not hard to find in real-life situations. Even without overloading   
   you just mentioned, same identifiers in different class scopes (e.g.   
   A::execute and B::execute where classes A and B are not related) make it   
   quite hard to locate a specific function or object. I'm not saying it   
   happens very often, but the point is that there are certainly real cases   
   where so-called "advanced automated text replacing tools" such as   
   "find, grep, sed and perl" can screw things up and bite you. And they   
   were when I wished I had had a smart IDE that could make the distinction.
