I don't think we should spend the time it would take to implement
the feature of specifying a scope for an identifier.  It doesn't
make sense in many cases, so it will be hard to spec.

But ordinary identifiers that are static in one file are visible in
other files in GDB.  Why not struct tags also?  That should be easy.
