[Bug c++/17353] New: type name in nested class conflicts with name in outer class

The following code does not compile:

--------------------------------------------------
struct cause_error
{
  typedef int type;
  struct nested { typedef type type; };
};
--------------------------------------------------
jeff.cc:4: error: declaration of `typedef int cause_error::nested::type'
jeff.cc:3: error: changes meaning of `type' from `typedef int cause_error::type'

I am fairly positive it is legal code, though. It never compiled on any version 
of GCC so far.
