State-Changed-Why:
    That's indeed a complexity of C++. A lone identifier (like "a"), that is not obviously template dependent, will be looked
    up at the time the compiler sees the class, not at instantiation
    time. However, at that point, no information about base
    classes is available yet, so it will not find members of
    the base class.
