I understand.  That's why I left the target for this PR set at 4.0.

We have an ever-growing list of these, with respect to using-declarations.

None of these have ever worked correctly; they've all worked because we 
made various mistakes in name lookup.  Every time we fix name lookup, we 
introduce more problems with using-declarations, because our 
using-declarations are not really using-declarations, but just access 
specifiers.  For example, we broke things in this area when we 
introduced two-phase name lookup.

The correct fix -- and, I suspect, the only correct fix -- is to 
implement using-declarations for classes correctly.  I'd love to do 
that, but depending on how big of a job it is, it may not happen for 4.0.
