When parsing the docstrings of a function to find its set of overloads, C++ code samples that mention the function name were at risk of matching the C++ scoping operator "::" as a type annotation, leading to malformed output. For example "MyFunc(foo: int) -> bool" is a valid signature, but the sample code "MyFunc(Eigen::Lower)" was being mis-parsed. Fix this by patching stubgen to reset in case it sees a double colon where a single colon "name: type" stanza was expected.
