Come on! The error message is certainly *true*, but *correct* means that it diagnoses the actual error that is present and helps the user toward a correction. This message certainly does neither. The actual error is a missing "typename". Taken at face value, the message suggests that 'Powerset<E> should be derived from its local type "Powerset<E>::iterator", but it is impossible for a class to derive from one of its own local types. 

You may argue that the problem is low priority, but "correct" it ain't. Take it up with your associates.
