enum and classes

[Gaijinco]

How come that this is legal:

class A
{
enum Enum{B,C};
Enum foo()
{
return B;
}
};

But this isn't:

class A
{
enum Enum{B,C};
Enum foo();
};

Enum A::foo()
{
return B;
}

If you define the function outside of the scope of A, the symbol Enum
doesn't mean anything anymore by itself. You have to write

A::Enum A::foo()
{
return B;
}

Enum A::foo()

Enum is not in scope.

A::Enum A::foo()

{
return B;
}
