Of course if you replace the name testnames with STANDARD, now it
is impossible to name the outer outer_constant from the inner
STANDARD, but that carries this experiment to its most pathological
extreme. (It it legal to compile a library package named STANDARD,
but not one named CHARACTER or INTEGER. There seemed to be no need to
have a special rule to make such masochistic behavior explicitly
illegal.)
