This is wrong. You're still thinking about a compiler and a linker,
not about a debugger. There may also be a dozen static functions named
"foo", and one of them may happen to be in the current file and the
user may just have been looking at it.
Since we can't read the user's mind, we have to do our best to silently
accomodate the user's potential intentions.
