I understood the point. The counter-point I was making was that you
sometimes needed to prepend something more complicated than "::".

By the way "::Monkey" won't work if Monkey is inside another namespace:

    https://godbolt.org/z/z8d3YWMoo

and copy-pasted:

namespace Frog {
    namespace Monkey {

        void Func(void) {}

        class Lizard {
            void Func(void) {}

            void Func2(void)
            {
                return ::Monkey::Func();
            }
        };
    }
}
