               id-expression ::= unqualified-id | qualified-id

    ~ class-name | template-id
               qualified-id ::= [::] nested-name :: [template] unqualified-id | :: identifier | 
    :: operator-function-id | :: template-id
               nested-name ::= class-or-namespace-name | 
    nested-name [:: class-or-namespace-name] | 
    nested-name [:: template class-name]
class-or-namespace-name ::= class-name | namespace-name
               class-name ::= identifier | template-id
               namespace-name ::= identifier
            

An entity name can be a simple identifier, an operator name, or a qualified name. See Chapter 1 for the rules that apply to valid identifiers. See Chapter 5 for more information on overloaded operators. See operator for the rules that apply to operator-function-id and conversion-function-id.
