[Bug c++/13399] New: G++ 3.3 fails to match the templatized, overloaded operator for subtypes defined in the class template

["wirawan0 at softhome dot net" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

G++ version 3.3 _DOES_ accept templatized operator definition for a class
template's subtype, yet when it _FAILS_ to find this pattern when it comes to an
actual call to that operator. Is this against C++ standard? I don't think so (or
at least it should not have been so). I put more detail on the attachment. But
the kind of template declaration that fails is like this:

template <class param_type>
inline bool operator||(typename Class<param_type>::Subtype &c1,
                       typename Class<param_type>::Subtype &c2)
{
    return c1.x || c2.x;
}
