   include the name of namespaces enclosing the type in question.
   lookup_transparent_type gets called when the type in question
   is a declaration, and we're trying to find its definition; but, for
   declarations, our type name deduction mechanism doesn't work.
   There's nothing we can do to fix this in general, I think, in the
   absence of debug information about namespaces (I've filed PR
   gdb/1511 about this); until such debug information becomes more
   prevalent, one heuristic which sometimes looks is to search for the
   definition in namespaces containing the current namespace.

   We should delete this functions once the appropriate debug
   information becomes more widespread.  (GCC 3.4 will be the first
