Could someone please tell me how scope qualification is supposed to be
handled for the following case?

namespace A {
  char c;
  namespace A {
    char c;
    char *cp1 = &A::c;    // does this refer to ::A::c or ::A::A::c?
    char *cp2 = &A::A::c; // is this permitted or is ::A::A::c required?
  }
}
