Your code is in error but this bug is only detected with -pedantic.
Correctly you should have written: typename Map<int, T>::iterator i.


To our C++ experts: This is reported over and over again, so I strongly
suggest that

 o the implicit typename extension issues a warning whenever it comes
   into play.

 o a better error message is issued instead of "parse error" when 
   -pedantic is used.
