Are you sure?  It does not seem to include the full signature. Example, for
the methods:

    int get_int (const char *from_string);
    int get_int (double from_float);

full_name prints:

'::SomeObject::get_int'
'::SomeObject::get_int'

P.S. Be careful with unnamed declarations.


I am not sure when I get unnamed declarations.  But in any case, one step at
a time... :)
