https://eel.is/c++draft/temp.pre#7 was normative wording that was converted into a note by P1787R6. The first half of it reads:

A template cannot have the same name as any other name bound in the same scope ([basic.scope.scope]), except that a function template can share a name with non-template functions ([dcl.fct]) and/or function templates ([temp.over]).

I think it refers to wording about which declarations correspond (and consequently might conflict, rendering the program ill-formed), but it only reflects [basic.scope.scope]/4.3. The problem is that it's worded in a way that claims completeness, despite omitting 4.1 (using-declarators) and 4.2 (types not conflicting with non-types, including function templates).

This PR makes the note complete, and adds an example that focuses on function templates.

There appears to be no implementation divergence on the example between 4 compilers: https://godbolt.org/z/axe9j9eTr

Sorry, I don't understand the CI error about comments not being aligned. They seem aligned to me, even in the error message.

See: # Comment not aligned to multiple of four. (Ignore lines with "@".) here:

Diagnostic could be WAY better there.

Should be good to go now.

…clared in the same scope?" (#111446)

[P1787R6](https://wg21.link/p1787r6):
> [CWG110](https://cplusplus.github.io/CWG/issues/110.html) is resolved
by reducing the restriction in [temp.pre] to a note (matching the
behavior of GCC, Clang, and ICC).

Wording: see changes to [temp.pre]/7

I believe the wording for the questions raised in the issue is now the
definition of corresponding declarations that is given in
[[basic.scope.scope]/4](https://eel.is/c++draft/basic.scope#scope-4):
> Two declarations correspond if they (re)introduce the same name, both
declare constructors, or both declare destructors, unless
> — either is a using-declarator, or
> — one declares a type (not a typedef-name) and the other declares a
variable, non-static data member other than of an anonymous union
([class.union.anon]), enumerator, function, or function template, or
> — each declares a function or function template and they do not
declare corresponding overloads.

Then it's used as an input for the definition of potentially conflicting
declarations given in
[[basic.scope.scope]/6](https://eel.is/c++draft/basic.scope#scope-6).

Answering the question in the title: yes, having a function template and
a type with the same name that has the same target scope is well-formed.

A keen eye might spot that the current
[[temp.pre]/7](https://eel.is/c++draft/temp.pre#7) note doesn't reflect
all of the exceptions from the definition of corresponding declarations
in [basic.scope.scope]/4, namely 4.1 and 4.2. I believe the note is
defective, and I opened an editorial PR against the draft to fix that:
cplusplus/draft#7284.
