	I thought I had a bug in Zortech 2.0 in that:
		class abc {
			enum def { A,B,C };
			int func(enum def i = A);
		};
	didn't work! (The default argument A wasn't recognized, because the
	class data structure was incomplete when the function declaration
	was parsed.) It's not clear from the 2.0 spec if this is expected
	to work. Is it?
