hi,

personally, I find :::A, ::A and such constructs *extremely* ugly. Might 
I suggest using a special keyword to denote global scoped classes?
eg:
global:::A and such. global already is a keyword, but I'm pretty sure it 
could be reused in this context. Plus, it clearly shows where you're 
getting it all from.
