>Description:
If you have type inside a template, issuing last template-id
as member of it rebinds the template instead of using previous type.

ie
typedef foo::bar<int>::bar<float> baz;
generates same effect as
typedef foo::bar<float> baz;
>How-To-Repeat:
example session, program asserts in unexpected place, it should assert before, for difffrent type.

C:\base\test>g++ gcc_rebind_bug.cpp -o gcc_rebind_bug -Wall && gcc_rebind_bug
Assertion failed: ( IsSame< cons<int, cons<char, cons<double,float> > >, test_ty
pe>::Value ), file gcc_rebind_bug.cpp, line 37
>Fix:
Haven't found one yet, except moving member template outside
the class.
