This is a C++ FAQ and a bug in your code.  "T::iterator" is a dependant name,
and must be prefixed by the keyword 'typename' in order to tell a compiler
that it is in fact the name of a type (and not a member function, etc).

So:

    typename T::iterator end(arg.end());

With that change, the 3.0.2 20011016 prerelease compiles it just fine.
