Even if it could be done on some compilers, it wouldn't be portable
because there's a good chance that the compiler won't try to compile
the member functions until it's finished with the class body.
Try compiling this
class C {
void f() {
int i = ::test;
}
static const int i = ::test;
};
The first error is likely to be for the class member rather than
inside f.
