Subject: Multiple IDL enums reusing an identifier for a value name cause 'already exists'
enum NameA { NameA_1, NameA_2, NameA_3 }; enum NameB { NameB_1, NameA_2, // this one causes 'already exists' error NameB_3 }; Error message in output has this structure: #path/to/idl/file.idl:line#Error: Identifier 'NameA_2' already exists. Reclassify Severity as you see fit, but this is a difficulty for IDL already in production.

Another piece of useful debugging information: In our IDL the two problem enums are in the same .idl file.

OK, so our idl compiler is too forgiving, and you are not supposed to have the same element name in different enums. Please close this as something like 'resolved, operator error'. Thanks for your time.
