I get that it's a problem when they are in entirely
non-overlapping scopes, but when they are in the same local scope
it really shouldn't be an error as there's no need for the double
context pointer. Indeed, in this case there's no need for any
context pointer at all, it's a purely compile-time manipulation.
I'm tempted to create a separate bug report for this as it's not
quite the same problem.
