--- Comment #2 from Tom Tromey <tromey at sourceware dot org> ---
I think there's some support for this internally, in that if
the inferior is stopped in a method, it will look for members
and types using their unqualified name.
So, perhaps this could be extended to let the scope be passed
in.  Then MI could be enhanced to let the user do this.

See c-exp.y:classify_inner_name, which does:

  yylval.ssym.sym = cp_lookup_nested_symbol (type, copy.c_str (), block,
                                             VAR_DOMAIN);

Here the block implies the scope.
