Well, having just got my copy of Think C 4.0 torn open (you know, in christmas
present frenzy mode) and all installed, I have a couple of sorta dumb questions
to ask the world. This is the first ...

Am I missing something or is the 'A::' not necessary in the call to x() because
B has inherited it and thus 'this->x()' will do?  Therefore 'x()' will do too.

struct A : direct { void x(void); };
struct B : A { void y(void); };
...
B::y(void)
{
	A::x();
}

I know its not necessary because I tried compiling it and it works fine.
Why does the Think Class Library seem to specify these things when it doesnt
need to??
