Description
Given this C++:
namespace llvm {
namespace object {
class Archive : public Binary {
...
public:
class Child {
...
}
}
}
}
Calling builder::opaque_type and builder::whitelist_type with "llvm::object::Archive::Child" does not match. However, calling those methods with "llvm::object::Archive_Child" does match. That doesn't seem right.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the C++ nested-class example and compare builder::opaque_type and builder::whitelist_type with the qualified name llvm::object::Archive::Child versus llvm::object::Archive_Child. Trace the matching entry points to determine why the qualified nested name is not recognized; done means the intended nested-class spelling matches consistently.
