That will cause you to get duplicates of static locals and the like (but I suppose you do anyway between the host and the device, so maybe that's not much more broken than it would be regardless).


Hm.  I agree that would be surprising to users.

I suppose we could say that HD can overload D but not H.  Then we could apply mangling to all device functions, solving the ambiguity that way.  That feels pretty ham-fisted, though.  :-/
