Good point!  However, you could catch it in a finish_offsetof routine in
semantics.c, called from both the parser and pt.c.  (That routine would
then call fold_offsetof.)

I think it would be better to handle this case in the C++ front-end,
because I don't think the common code should have to issue error
messages about C++-specific constructs.
