That's not the point. The point is the parser can't easily identify it -
we barely care about namespaces, so
  someClass :: method ( ) ; 
is as valid as
  someClass::method();
independent from the context, same should be true for namespaces and
their separator independent from the context.

... but well, that was all discussed multiple times before
