Hiding through nesting

Name hiding through nesting can occur as a result of nesting namespaces or types within namespaces, as a result of nesting types within classes or structs, and as a result of parameter and local variable declarations.
[Example: In the example class A { int i = 0; void F() { int i = 1; } void G() { i = 1; } } within the F method, the instance variable i is hidden by the local variable i, but within the G method, i still refers to the instance variable. end example]
When a name in an inner scope hides a name in an outer scope, it hides all overloaded occurrences of that name. [Example: In the example class Outer { static void F(int i) {} static void F(string s) {} class Inner { void G() { F(1); // Invokes Outer.Inner.F F("Hello"); // Error } static void F(long l) {} } } the call F(1) invokes the F declared in Inner because all outer occurrences of F are hidden by the inner declaration. For the same reason, the call F("Hello") results in a compile-time error. end example]
