Maybe, but I think the point is understanding that the
compiler-generated name of an unnamed namespace is unique per
translation unit, not per source file (and I can't think of any way a
book or, say, a C++ course can explain -- for a proper meaning of
"explain" :-) -- them without making the distinction clear; that's why
I consider it 101). All the rest is a consequence.

If I understand correctly the idiomatic expression "back off" it means
"stop here" or something like that. Well, I'll do, as I don't think
this discussion is actually useful to anyone.
