[C++] Overloading a type name with a function

[Daniel Jacobowitz]

I have this testcase, which compiled under egcs 1.1.2:

---------

class A {};

class B { protected: bool A(int a); };

class C : public B { A myA; };

---------

>From what I can tell the definition of 'class A' is completely hidden
in C by 'bool B::A(int)'.  Thus a syntax error in the declaration of
myA.  Is this right, or should the compiler find the class A
declaration in the top level?
