Follow up. A concrete example, one of many: 

1. Atype exists in the core classes since the beginning of time. 
2. Atype is redefined inside a local anonymous namespace. 

This does not pass: 

const Atype& var1 = _inst->getA(...); 

Visual Studio gives 2 clues: 

a. Atype --> is ambiguous. 
b. getA signature --> <unnamed>::AType. 

Ok a bit of SO to understand how to refer to that <unnamed>::Atype locally. 

i. A guy propose to wrap the anonymous namespace with another named namespace. 
ii. Another propose to use 'auto'. 

I tried auto, it works. I find all this dubious.
