Did you mean '...in only one function'?
I'm talking about having a simple using declaration for types referenced
in this file. I can't see that that's unacceptable.
There are lots of actions you take in C++ which bring things into your
namespace. Every header file you include typically puts hundreds of
symbols into your namespace, so I can't see why you shouldn't put a simple
declaration which imports 1, or 2, or 3, symbols..
But, it's you project ;-) You set the coding rules, I'll follow them if I
submit a patch...
