Research direction

Reproduce the issue with the two namespace declarations in the C# example and inspect the generated index.scip output. Trace how the Roslyn-based indexer constructs class symbols, then verify that the output distinguishes TestA/TestB/SomeClass and TestC/TestB/SomeClass as separate full-namespace symbols.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

graph/scip-dotnet team/graph

The following cs code:

namespace TestA.TestB {
    class SomeClass {
        public int Level { get; set; }
    }
}

namespace TestC.TestB {
    class SomeClass {
        public int Level { get; set; }
    }
}

For the index.scip output, the symbol of class SomeClass is scip-dotnet nuget . . TestB/SomeClass#. It doesn't have
full namespace information. I think it should be scip-dotnet nuget . . TestA/TestB/SomeClass# and scip-dotnet nuget . . TestC/TestB/SomeClass#. Otherwise, it's hard to get the full namespace of a symbol and the symbol is not unique.
