Is it legal to define a function outside of an unnamed namespace?

namespace {
    void f();
}

void f() {
    return;
}

If it isn't, it should be.  Defining functions in a nested fashion is annoying,
and it makes me (and possibly others) prefer 'static' functions:

static void f() {
    return;
}

// rather than:

namespace {
    void f() {
        return;
    }
}
