I wrote a test app to test djgpp's implementation of the C++ scope
resolution operator (::).  Apparently, there is no implementation, e.g.:

#include <iostream.h>

int main()
{
    int i = 0;

    {
        int i = 1;

        cout << i << endl
                << (::i) << endl;
    }

    return 0;
}


The output should be:

1
0

But it won't even compile.  It says that i is undeclared on the 'cout <<
i << endl' line?!  I am confused.  Was there actually an attempt to get
the scope resolution operator working or is it implemented the same as
namespaces in djgpp (in other words -- not)?  If someone could give me
an update, I'd appreciate it.
