I don't actually care whether this extension is implemented.  I only
brought it up because I was trying to fix g++.robertl/eb127.C.  I had
a patch which made the compiler complain about a missing ->* rather
than crash, and I wasn't sure if eb127 was legal C++.  Jason has now
fixed eb127 without modifying the test case, so presumably it is...
