Thanks for your bug report. This is a known bug; g++ thinks this is a
variable declaration; as in
bar foo(1,2);
Yes, you can have parentheses around the variable in C++. Then, when
it sees the dot, it is confused.
The work-around is to add another pair of parentheses:
(bar(foo(1,2))).print(cout);
The problem should disappear when the parser rewrite happens.
Regards,
Martin
