Mike has mentioned that there is no way to disambiguate a reference in favor of a local variable if that variable is automatic. The rule disallowing hierarchical references to automatic variables was intended to prevent references from outside the scope, where the variable might not exist, or where there might be multiple instances of the variable in existence simultaneously. I don't see a problem with allowing a hierarchical reference to an automatic variable from inside its scope, where the hierarchy is just intended for name disambiguation. Would this help? Does anyone else see a problem with this?
