Research direction

Start by reproducing the namespace example through the getSemanticDiagnostics API and trace the semantic diagnostic that reports error 2689. The fix is complete when this code produces no diagnostic, with a regression test covering an interface extending A.C; the issue does not name a repository file or test path.
