What, if anything, is special about typedefs which are enclosed within a class
declaration?  G++ 1.36.4 does not recognize typedef names outside the scope
of an enclosing class declaration and I am not enough of a language lawyer
to know whether this is really a problem.  I do know, however, that you
can't declare something as a classname::typedef.  Therefore, it would seem that
G++'s behavior is either a bug, or typedefs within class declarations are
nearly useless.
