Sure. But this requires adding a new restriction that the same C name
must not be aliased to two different external functions.
[in the above example C name "foo" is used as an alias for 'f1' and
'f2'.]
I don't mind such restriction. Should we add it to LRM?
DOUG: I would prefer not to make this restriction.
However, we should add this point to the LRM as a matter
of clarity. So either way this will end up in the LRM.
Regards,
Doug
