1) bar:: looks like valid C++ syntax but it is not a valid
nested-name-specifier, so it should be something that is not valid C++ syntax,
such as {bar}::Py_ssize_t
2) Although the quotes _should_ make it clear, I think that could get confusing
when the type involves parentheses, e.g.
cannot convert 'my_fun_type' ('int* (Foo::*)(char*)') to 'int* const
(Foo::*)(char*)'
How about adding "typedef for" in there? e.g.
cannot convert 'bar::Py_ssize_t*' (typedef for 'int*')

We used to only have unwrapped typedefs, so hopefully we can still get it when
wanted!
