Instantiation is done by static access: new Outer::Inner(1), which is currently a syntax error.


How would I access static members on an inner class without having ambiguity? Outer::Inner::Const already is valid syntax.


If this is a big "NO" (or if someone else has started working on this and I'm just so happening to accidentally step on their toes, again): I don't want to spend several days/weeks digging into the details for classes. However, it would probably look something like the above.


I believe Ilija has some proof-of-concept regarding file-private classes, which would sidestep the above problem of disambiguating static member access.
