I don't think that GDB will ever support this.  It's one of a batch
of C++ improvements that would be nice to have, but getting it right
would require most of a C++ front end.  And for various reasons,
I don't think that reusing the g++ front end would be practical.

We could probably get it to work in strictly limited cases, though.
