I am not sure, but I think the handling of enum tags may be related to the
problem you (rms) describe concerning struct tags.  The following code will
not compile using g++-1.37.1.

class foo {
private:
  enum Number {ONE = 1, TWO};
  static const NUM = ONE;
public:
  int test();
  };

typedef enum {THREE = 3, FOUR} Number;

int foo::test() {
  Number num = ONE;
  printf("test: num=%d\n", num);
  printf("test: NUM=%d\n", NUM);
}

const NUM = 2;

main() {
  Number num = THREE;
  foo a;
  a.test();
}  


G++ says the typedef for Number is a redefinition.
