Since all NIH Library classes inherit these members, their member functions can use these names without needing to specify a scope qualifier, except to resolve ambiguities. However, non-member functions and member functions of classes not derived from NIHCL can access them with the NIHCL scope qualifier; for example:
NIHCL::setError(ERROR_CODE, DEFAULT);
